School Visits

Secondary school visits, teacher training, and Science Week activities to foster STEM vocations across the Community of Madrid.

Science for everyone.

The CTB is committed to science communication and to fostering STEM vocations — particularly through schools and public events across the Community of Madrid.

Every November during Science Week (Semana de la Ciencia), the CTB opens its doors with hands-on activities, escape rooms, talks, and lab demonstrations. Past editions have covered AI in medicine, brain science, cancer biology, Parkinson's, and robotics for healthy ageing.

Beyond Science Week, the CTB regularly welcomes secondary school groups for guided lab tours, and participates in teacher training courses organised by the Community of Madrid's Centre for Territorial Innovation.
