The aim of Umevatoriet is to promote science, technology and mathematics through a collaboration between the school administrations of Umeå municipality and its neighbouring districts, Umeå University and the local industry. Together we create activities that gives the opportunity for both pupils and their teachers to perform experiments and deepen their knowledge and experiences in science, technology and mathematics. The starting-point for our themes is usually space and from there our visitors are led towards various areas, depending on their age and background.
