°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ @ October science festivals

Every October, before schools pause for two weeks of holiday, towns and cities in France open their municipal spaces to scientific experts of all stripes who are eager to share their areas of expertise with the general public ... especially school children.

°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ volunteers have a lot of explaining to do as young science enthusiasts experiment with magnetism, plasma and vacuum.
Through stands, displays, posters, hands-on experiments and dialogue, institutes, laboratories and large science projects present their activities in an entertaining and easily accessible fashion. The annual Fête de la Science attracts millions of participants across the country.

The °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Project has taken part every year since 2011. For this edition, °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ teams set up booths in Villeneuve Loubet, near Nice; Manosque, near °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ; and Marseille. The different areas of specialization of the volunteers—ranging from science and engineering to information technology, transport, communication, design, and security—meant that interaction with the public was always varied and interesting. A walk-in cinema with °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ videos, a holobox suspending 3D components in mid-air, and hands-on fusion experiments also drew crowds to the stands.

Across the three events, thousands of members of the public gained a better understanding of fusion and °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ.
