Science is magic that works.

In July 2026, Mattika Explore, in partnership with Tehnicarium, ran the "Play with Science" pop-up science museum, funded through the Cultură în Present program of Center for Projects of the Municipality of Timișoara. For a week, at the Timișoara Project Center, visitors could interact with 15+ exhibits - including a Pythagorean theorem puzzle, a geodesic dome, bridges, a sand pendulum, and a lever balance - and access a cardboard-building creative space. The week closed with a local STEAM community meetup focused on the project's future. Some exhibits later returned to the public during Timișoara City Celebration, at St. George's Square.

Between August and November 2025, Mattika Explore ran the second edition of the Creative Science project, funded through the Creative Schools program of Timișoara's Municipal Project Center. An online contest selected the final two partner schools — Gimnazială School No. 18 and Waldorf High School Timișoara — alongside Colegiul Național Bănățean and Gimnazială School No. 6. In total, 592 students across the four schools took part in 25 STEAM workshops (Distant Galaxies, Autumn Colors Kaleidoscope, Color Magic, Drawing Robot), blending science, technology, and creativity.

In fall 2024, Mattika Explore ran the first edition of the Creative Science project, funded through the Culture in the Present program of Center for Projects of the Municipality of Timișoara. The project opened with the marble run workshop at Timișoara City Celebration. This was followed by the online contest "Creative Science at My School," where 5 schools in Timișoara competed to become the third partner school. The winner was St. Mary High School. In total, 24 STEAM workshops - blending art with physics, chemistry, and engineering - took place at Avram Iancu High School, Bartók Béla High School and St. Mary High School.
