Archimedes
Why this day is named after Archimedes
Archimedes is one of the most important figures of ancient science. He represents curiosity, precise thinking, technical imagination and the ability to turn ideas into practical solutions.
Figure of ancient science
Archimedes lived in the 3rd century BC and his name remains strongly connected with the development of mathematics, physics and technical thought.
Mathematician and inventor
He was celebrated not only for mathematical discoveries, but also for mechanical ideas and devices that inspired later generations.
Principle of buoyancy
His name remains linked to Archimedes’ principle, explaining why bodies immersed in fluid are lifted by buoyant force.
Archimedean screw
Tradition also connects his name with the water-lifting device known as the Archimedean screw.
Why now
Archimedes as a symbol of discovery, curiosity and the courage to think
Curiosity
To support the joy of discovering and a natural interest in the world around us.
Science in practice
To show that science is not distant, but closely connected to everyday life.
International reach
To connect schools, institutions and communities across different countries.
Future of communities
To create spaces where education naturally meets community life.

ARCHIMEDES outdoor classroom
Network of classrooms
ARCHIMEDES DAY is also linked to real learning spaces
ARCHIMEDES DAY is not designed as an isolated web event. It builds on the ARCHIMEDES outdoor classrooms network and on real places where education meets architecture, technology and community life.
This gives the international day a practical dimension as well — from live broadcasts to local programs for schools, municipalities and the public.
