The Science, Education and Culture Centers in Vitoria are places of dissemination and dissemination of science that serve public and private schools, the academic community, citizens and tourists visiting our capital. Among these, the oldest CCEC is the Vitoria Planetarium, which opened in June 1995, followed by Praça da Ciência, School of Physical Sciences, School of Biology and History, Vitoria Language Center and School of Innovation.

Praça da Ciência was established so that students can learn in a playful way and apply physical and astronomical principles on a daily basis. The set consists of 16 pieces of equipment that can be used to study movement, balance, imagery, astronomy, strength and more.

Praça da Ciência curator Juvenilda Ribeiro says that over its 22 years of existence, many stories have been intertwined in Praça da Ciência. The children who participated in the science workshops are now university students and continue to attend the space. Guided tour moderators became instructors for the Vitoria Network.

“Many young science lovers now have children and are brought into the group for group learning. As well as a large number of students of all ages who present their experiences in the study of motion, force, balance, imagery and astronomy in a playful and interesting way.
