The best way to learn something is to actually do it or, if possible, experience it. Kids Dive is the best in this respect. It is a practical programme from the very first moment. Everything is experienced and assimilated. It is an example of a strategy to bring scientific culture to everyone in an apparently light way, but with a lot of substance. As if this were not enough, it is designed to touch everyone, those who have more scientific knowledge, those who are curious, those who like to learn more and those who have not (yet) understood the importance of maintaining curiosity throughout Life. From the sequence of actions to the professionalism of the team and the personalised attention and systematic dedication to the target audience, this programme is outstanding. Being able to participate in this programme was transformative for my students and for me. Like them, I have been a learner throughout this process, and I feel that it has helped me to become a better teacher and a better citizen. The students? Many of them are at university and still talk about Kids Dive as one of the most remarkable experiences in their school years. Kids Dive is definitely a programme that everyone should experience, for a more motivating, inclusive and student-centred school.
