No, on the contrary, it is an organization that motivates students who are interested in science at all levels and increases their interest and desire towards science. All students and teachers interested in science are invited. 4. Is there an exam or assessment during the experiments and practices at the Science Center? No, there are no exams or assessments in the experiments and practices they will attend in the Science Centers. What needs to be done during these practices is to freely test the experiments with the group and the teacher as much as they want, and read the explanations of the experiment, if any, and evaluate the issue among them. Because there will be questions parallel to the experiments they conduct here. 5. Is there a limit on the number of participants? Is there a quota by country?
