Will my kid get anything out of it without Slovak?

Partly. The live snake, the thermal camera, the colors in the rock slices and the UV moth craft work by looking. The explanations at each station and the treasure hunt are in Slovak, so a kid who follows Slovak gets much more from them.

What is the closing concert like?

A show of music, dance and projection about earth, plants and animals, made for this event by Slovak singer Eniesa with dancer Ariadna Vendelová. You can stay on after the science stations.

Will there be photos taken?

Yes. Ekocentrum Čunovo takes photos and video at the event to promote its work.

Weird parasite stories, like the fungus that takes over ants and the worm that sends insects into water, for kids who like the strange side of nature

About

A hands-on science day at Ekocentrum Čunovo about what human senses miss. Kids meet a live snake and see their surroundings through a thermal camera, look at thin slices of rock under a microscope, learn how parasites control ants and snails, and make a moth with hidden patterns that only show under UV light. It suits curious kids who like to look closely. Stations are led in Slovak.
