Clubs & Workshops

Welcome to Our Creative Hub of Curiosity and Innovation! 
 
At Discovering42, we’re not just building a connected community; we’re cultivating a movement that propels us away from consumerism and passive engagement, steering us towards hands-on exploration, a DIY ethos, and the thrill of experimentation. Through the fusion of art, sustainability, science we aim to unleash the potential for impactful shifts in perspective.
  
Workshops and Clubs:
Delve into experiences ranging from unraveling everyday curiosities to launching more ambitious projects. Our workshops and clubs are designed to encourage active participation because we believe in doing it ourselves, understanding how things work, and embracing the transformative power of experimentation.
 
Age Recommendations:
Tailored to diverse age groups, our workshops provide engaging experiences. Some sessions may pose challenges requiring patience and problem-solving, parents are encouraged to stay and collaborate in the learning process.
 
Can Cafe
Recharge in our cozy café, offering a delightful array of drinks, including our Curious Cocktails. Feel free to bring a snack, and immerse yourself in the vibrant energy of our community.
