Science Camp Night for adults!

We are often asked why science camps are not organized for adults. The secret reason is that, according to legend, strange things start to happen in the woods in Heureka's backyard if adults are allowed to run around at the science camp.

However, we believe that this is just a legend. That's why we decided to organize a one-night science camp for adults as an exception this year.

Don't miss this unique opportunity. There will be interesting science content and a nostalgic summer camp program. And who knows what happens in the forest of Heureka's backyard when the evening gets dark?

Camp evening program

The program of the event is organized indoors and outdoors.
The program is completed until the camp evening and may be subject to change.

Outdoor program

Dress according to the weather conditions for the outdoor program.

Foam party

At camp baptism, music plays and foam flies! Be prepared to get slightly wet and bring a change of clothes and/or a towel if you wish.

Foam parties are organized in cooperation with Bileet.fi.

From 20:00 to 23:30

Batik dyeing

Do you for example have a clean, light t-shirt, socks or canvas bag that needs a little tweaking? This is prossible in the camp night batik dyeing workshop. Bring with you a clean and light fabric suitable for dyeing, dye it, leave it to dry during the event and take it home with you at the end of the evening.

If you leave your own fabric at home, you can also use the fabric bag you received on the camp night for dyeing!

From 19:00 to 23:30

Appeasement of the legend

According to the camp legend, strange things start to happen in the woods of Heureka's backyard if adults are allowed to mess around at the science camps. No need to worry though! In the legend's appeasement workshop, we make sure that the legend doesn't get unleashed. Who among your group dares to go into the forest to appease the legend while the others give instructions from the edge of the forest?

From 19:00 to 23:30

  • Drainpipe rally

    Come build yourself a boat out of balsa and race it to win! Once an hour, we give a prize to the fastest hero of the past hour! There will be great prizes.

  • A taste of love herbs

    Anna Nyman gave a lecture in the auditorium on the topic Love herbs from close-up nature. After this, she moves to the foot of the outdoor path of useful plants to taste love herbs. We recommend you experience both!

Open Mic: Ghost Stories

Pecca Palmu & Cable management

Pecca on aloitteleva muusikko, joka tuottaa musiikkia biosonifikaation avulla, jossa elävää organismia käytetään ääniaaltojen tuottamiseen ja manipulointiin. Pecca rikkoo rajoja – miksi kasvi ei voisi olla muusikko?

Biosonifikaatiossa eläinten tai kasvien liikkeistä peräisin olevat äänet tai mittausdata muunnetaan musiikiksi tai ääniteoksiksi. Liity osaksi virtapiiriä, joka luo erilaisia äänimaisemia elektronisen musiikin ja biosonifikaation yhdistelmänä. Tämä yhdistää musiikin luomisen ja luonnon, luoden ainutlaatuisia ja mielenkiintoisia äänimaisemia.

  • Study the bugs workshop

    Bugs are an important part of summer and camps. What do they look like up close? Come and observe them under a microscope.

    From 19:00 to 23:30

  • Kohdeyhteistyö

    Sounds of the night quiz

    At the Science on a Sphere site, you listen to different sounds of the night and guess what they are.

  • Love herbs from nearby nature

    Luennoitsijana Anna Nyman.

    Klo 19.45 ja 20.30

  • Dive into a mythical forest

    Luennoitsijana folkloristi (FM) Katariina Krabbe.

    Miten esivanhempamme suhtautuivat metsään? Minkälaisia olentoja he siellä kohtasivat? Mikä on metsänpeitto ja miten sieltä pääsee pois? Luento toimii matkaoppaanasi myyttiseen metsään ja saat mukaasi voimaloitsun. Astu sitten metsän portista kuin toiseen todellisuuteen, avaudu näkemään elävä luonto uusin silmin ja koe se myyttien ja kansanperinteen kautta. Mitä metsä sinulle kertoo?

    Klo 21.15 ja 22.00

  • Metsähyönteisten salattu sosiaalinen elämä – mitä hyönteiset tekevät kun eivät syö metsää

    Luennoitsijana metsäentomologian apulaisprofessori ja akatemiatutkija Carita Lindstedt-Kareksela.

    Parittelukammioita, kloonautuvia naaraita, sienten kasvatusta, massaliikkeitä sekä yhteistyötä ja huijaamista - metsähyönteiset elävät omaa vuorovaikutussuhteiltaan rikasta elämää vaikka pääsevät julkisuuteen vain taloudellisia tuhoja aiheuttaessaan. Tässä lyhyessä luennossa tutustumme niiden vähemmälle huomiolle jääneeseen monimuotoiseen sosiaaliseen käyttäytymiseen.

    Klo 22.45 ja 23.00
