popular science lecture series for children
and everyone interested in science
Lecture Topics
THE ORIGIN OF THE UNIVERSE
AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF LIFE
Where do we come from? How did the world around us become the way we see it now? Who lived on our planet before humans? And what does the cosmic soup have to do with it? Together with scientists, we will learn about the Big Bang, create a recipe for life's formation on Earth, get acquainted with dinosaurs, and explore the evolution of humankind.
HUMAN AND NATURE
What should we know about our body, brain, and psyche? And how does nature, including various animals, plants, fungi, or lichens, influence us? Together with scientists, we will plunge into the study of the environment and learn many fascinating things about biology, botany, physics, and psychology.
OUTER SPACE AND
THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY
Does life exist on other planets? What makes up our vast Universe? And what awaits humanity in 100 years? Together with experts in astrophysics, chemistry, and genetic engineering, we will peer into the depths of space as well as explore our future.

INSCIENCE is an organization that promotes science and evidence-based medicine and increases their value for society, business, and the public through popular science projects. We make Ukrainian scientists and doctors visible and promote critical thinking by advocating a scientific approach to exploring the world.
The first season of the Science4Kids project was co-financed by the governments of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia through the Visegrad Grants of the International Visegrad Fund. The mission of the Fund is to promote ideas of sustainable regional cooperation in Central Europe.
The second season of the project was made possible thanks to the support of the advertising platform MGID, one of Ukraine's largest R&D centers SQUAD, and the Ukrainian IT company RIA.com.
The third season of the project is being implemented with the support of the advertising platform MGID, the Ukrainian IT company RIA.com, and the online platform Grammarly.
The fourth season is being conducted thanks to the attendees of the INSCIENCE CONFERENCE 2023: 30% of ticket sales were directed towards the Science4Kids lecture series.
