Activity description: The greatest discoveries in the history of chemistry and biochemistry were discovered by scientists without access to modern technology. The goal of the “Nobel Prize in Chemistry” workshop is to follow in the footsteps of some of the most successful scientists in history and try to replicate their discoveries with what was offered in their time. Through the creation of scenarios from history, this workshop will test all present participants’ level of creativity and knowledge of chemistry and biology, but will also encourage them to be resourceful and innovative. With the workshop, we want to test whether we can achieve the same or better results with current knowledge using the resources of the time, and whether the understanding of matter is sufficient to achieve some of the greatest historical discoveries. We will complete the entire workshop with a cheerful and stimulating spirit and create an innovative and stimulating environment. The result of the workshop is awareness of the individual’s environment and how inspiring and useful it can be for achieving great results that can leave a mark in the history of science.
