Can you imagine a village in 2030? The local "Fête de la Science" was the perfect place to do so this past weekend. Berre l'Etang, a village about 50 km from ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ, practiced the exercise by proposing to travel in time and discover what new technologies will be part of our lives in the future. ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ was there to represent fusion!
What happens to marshmallows when a vacuum is created under the dome? These children got a chance to find out.
"The Village of the Future" hosted 150 organizations and 90 displays with hands-on experiments were proposed to students and the general public. The small ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ laboratory was a popular stop—visitors had the chance to see how a magnetic field is generated, to discover the principles of vacuum, and even to produce plasma into a microwave.
In Berre l'Etang, but flying over the ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ site. The younger crowd was especially appreciative of ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ's virtual reality experience.
The nationwide "Fête de la Science" is an annual event in France to connect science to everyday life based on simple demonstrations. ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ's selection of experiments is growing from year to year ...
±¬×ߺÚÁÏ physicist Greg De Temmerman brings the story down to a level that can be understood by all.
The ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ portable stand—just one of the areas at the fair that attracted young science and technology enthusiasts.
Ruxandra Pilsiu, from ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ Communication's visits team, was there to guide fair participants through the main buildings of the ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ installation ... virtually.
