Workshops: Exploring Condensed Matter Physics – Science in Action at CEIP Príncipe de Asturias

In November 2025, researchers from IFIMAC conducted condensed matter physics workshops with fourth, fifth and sixth-grade students from CEIP Príncipe de Asturias in Cantoblanco, supported by a Cultural Transfer Grant from UAM.

Through the project, ‘Exploring Condensed Matter Physics from Príncipe de Asturias School: Science Workshops with IFIMAC’, the centre has strengthened its scientific outreach activities and expanded its engagement with the primary education community.

The project delivered six workshops introducing students to fundamental scientific concepts: The Scientific Method, a Great Ally!; What is Matter Made Of?; Laws of Motion; Where Does Colour Come From?; Science Gives You Wings; and It’s Not Magic, It’s Pressure!

Through these practical activities, IFIMAC has aimed to foster scientific curiosity among primary school students, introduce them to condensed matter physics, and encourage critical thinking and careful observation skills.
