The Chemistry professor of the Leontios School of N. Smyrna, @dimitris_kouloumasis (Mr. Chem) is coming to the Athens Science Festival to guide us to the most magical side of Chemistry.

He creates colored stars, builds his own volcanoes and reads hidden messages.

With him are his favorite vials and an anxious friend who can’t wait to unfold his sparkling character.

Through discovery learning this fun workshop gives questions to children’s questions, answers to take initiative and develop critical thinking and spend unforgettable moments learning!
