The importance of materials science and engineering is not always well understood by the general public. The classification of materials in metals, alloys, ceramics, glass, polymers and composites based on their composition and chemical bonding does not allow the importance of materials in technological development to be recognized. Functional classification is much more appealing, but it refers to the role of science and engineering of materials in the background.

A fun, engaging and interactive program that introduces kids to the fascinating world of civil engineering through experimenting with various building materials and the effect of forces and loads on buildings they design themselves. Kids are exposed to various types of bridges and why they are essential. Kids design and build their own bridges, considering forces, loads, durability, and budget.

Plastics and Polymers have changed our world. They are a wonderful invention, however at the same time they are a source of great detriment because we don't have a good way of getting rid of them.

This powerful film from MullenLowe London provocatively captures how, early on in their education, children already define career opportunities as male and female. When asked to draw a firefighter, surgeon and a fighter pilot, 61 pictures were drawn of men and only 5 were female.

When we friction two elements such as the balloon with a wool cloth, the electrons of one element pass to the other, so that one element is left with more electrons and another with fewer electrons. By bringing the balloon closer to a metal can it is attracted by the negative charges of the balloon. This phenomenon is known as "static electricity".

Understanding how an acid-base indicator works in real life situations and how to make one at home. 

The video presents the achievements Dimitris Chatzis, a student from Kavala, who is considered the youngest creator of human like robot in the world. In addition, an innovative project for energy saving prepared by a group of pupils is also presented.

The video presents shortly the national robotics pupils' contest, whose finals took place in Athens. The contest relates to the development and presentation of pupils’ projects that combine robotics, mathematics, mechanical engineering and technology.
