Filippa co-designs the programmes infusing them with drama techniques and drama & education guidelines. She is also responsible for the educational content and pedagogical standards of the projects.

Filippa studied Geology & Environment, Drama & Education and has a Master of Science in Natural Sciences in Education. Over the last 15 years Filippa has designed and has participated in several educational programmes, has taught Science and Maths to Primary, Secondary and College students, has trained educators in drama techniques and has given several speeches and workshops on how science educators can use drama as a tool in their classrooms.

Filippa’s point of view is focusing on self-responsible-learners. She believes that we have to show learners how to learn, how to stand critical towards any information and how to take their responsibility of their own unique learning process.

Filippa loves chocolate and can’t choose whether to watch one more Big Bang Theory episode or to go to a vintage flea market and buy stuff she doesn’t need.

Eva is for the scientific content. She is the geeky mind behind the projects. She finds the answers to all the scientific questions and she is responsible for the fascinating experiments the team is presenting.

Eva has mastered the chemistry of materials used in architectural conservation and then she PhDed the architecture of nanomaterials. And liquid crystals. And yes, it has been as cool as it sounds! She has worked in Demokritos research centre in Athens as a nanochemist and she also travelled to Ljubljana, Slovenia to do experiments at Josef Stefan Research Institute.

Eva very soon realised that people around her were afraid of chemistry and could die of boredom even in the hearing of the word “chemistry”. ‘If chemistry is amazing, how can this be?’, she wondered. Apart from the obvious bad-science-teacher answer, she found another one, literally lost in translation: The language of chemistry is like a foreign language. And it’s not possible to like something you do not understand. That’s when she decided to become a ‘science translator’, to reveal the beauty of chemistry and other sciences to people who didn’t talk their language.

Eva has characterised a lot of materials. If the materials could characterise her, they would find she is very patient and very happy when she can smell the sea. To this date, she can’t decide if she prefers to be cylon or human in Battlestar Galactica.

Stella is always committed in improving public awareness of various scientific fields, Stella is responsible for the team’s events running in Greece.

Stella is a Biologist and holds a master’s degree in Basic and Applied Cognitive Science. She is also an active member of the Multisensory and Temporal processing lab of National University of Athens.

Having started as a volunteer in environmental education, she now has a strong background in organization and implementation of environmental educational projects on the behalf of Hellenic Ornithological Society (NGO), as an associate, since 2010. She has also been part of the team that was responsible for the demonstration of perceptual illusions on behalf of the National University of Athens during the 1st Athens Science Festival. She has coordinated many interactive school workshops and school festivals regarding environmental education throughout Greece.
She is a nature lover so the ideal workplace for her would be an installation in a forest where people would visit and she could raise public awareness of science through interactive projects. Stella loves swimming and meeting ‘new’ sea creatures using her diving mask.
