On January 8-13, 2019, UG  school organized a scientific-cognitive tour in Warsaw, the capital of Poland,

The tour turned out a very interesting and diverse experience for our students.

Most of them are interactive, our students conducted experiments, observed and passed the test.

The basic principle of Copernicus is stir up the discoverer in man and to encourage his scientific cognition by strengthening his curiosity about the world.

Some of the exhibits are original. Its authors are the staff of the Center or the scientists who won the open competition.
