Science Days is an event inspired by Florida Space Day and aims to sensitize young people, parents and educators about the importance of science and technology through science education. During the meeting, interactive workshops, exhibitions and lectures were held to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the man's arrival on the moon aboard the Apollo 11 space mission. For those interested in history and space exploration, Science Days also brought NASA exhibit with items used in expeditions of the space agency, as well as prizes, documents and historical photos exhibited for the Brazilian public for the first time.
