Animations Scientifiques Prof. Dino (Canada)

Prof. Dino awakens children’s scientific curiosity through unique and fun experiments that allow young people to enhance their scientific knowledge.

The organisation promotes different professions and careers in the field of science. The educational programme designed by Prof. Dino allows young people to experience hands-on learning and familiarise themselves with science through laboratories designed and adapted to their understanding, explaining scientific terms in content developed especially for this young cohort.

The Eurofins Foundation has supported Prof. Dino since 2021 to reach more young people, mainly from disadvantaged primary schools.

Since then, the Foundation’s direct contribution has enabled Prof. Dino to organise 266 workshops for nearly 7,000 students where they learn about a wide range of scientific subjects (chemistry, biology, and physics, etc.)

Young people were able to participate specifically in two workshops:

The microscope workshop which consists of creating observation slides to discover how plants breathe. Equipped with an optical microscope, each team of students will discover the importance of exchanges with the plant environment, including photosynthesis (grade 2nd and 3rd).
Botaniscope: In this workshop, students will dissect a flower and discover how it reproduces. They'll understand the importance of pollination and photosynthesis (1st to 3rd grade).

The Eurofins Foundation renews its support to the organisation in 2023/2024.

This project contributes to the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals:
