Aqua (Our Mascot)
More than just a mascot, Aqua has been part of Profaqua’s identity since the company was founded in 2000 and proudly appears in our logo.
Why a water drop?
Because water is at the heart of life and countless scientific discoveries. It allows us to explore fascinating concepts such as the water cycle, states of matter, ecosystems, environmental science, chemistry, and so much more. It’s the perfect symbol of curiosity and exploration.
Aqua also represents one of Profaqua’s core values: curiosity.
Just as a single drop of water creates ripples, one simple question can spark a child’s curiosity and inspire a lifelong journey of discovery.
Although water covers most of our planet, only about 2.5% is fresh water. This precious resource reminds us of the importance of protecting our environment and helping young people understand the scientific challenges that shape our world today and in the future.
For more than 25 years, Aqua has accompanied thousands of young people on their scientific adventures. Curious, energetic, and always ready to experiment, Aqua perfectly represents Profaqua’s mission:
To spark curiosity, make learning fun, and inspire the scientists, engineers, innovators… and lifelong learners of tomorrow.
