Science & Art on Vacation

cafe logo 2025

CAF is held annually, during the month of January, and aims to awaken young talents to scientific research and artistic activities and to involve them, from an early age, in practical activities in which there is contact with the current challenges of science, methodology of scientific work, the human environment of research laboratories and different forms of artistic expression, under the guidance of Unicamp professors and researchers.

The program is aimed at high school students from public schools in the region of Campinas – East and West Education Directorates, and from the Limeira and Piracicaba Education Directorates.

While Unicamp professors propose research projects and workshops for high school students in different areas of knowledge, the selection and enrollment of interested students is carried out by public schools in Campinas and the region.
