Five good reasons to go to the Fête de la science on Sunday

1. Because science is not only for intellectuals

If science permeates our society, it is difficult to have all the keys to understanding how it affects our daily lives. This is the goal set by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. For more than thirty years it has organized the Fête de la science, which allows the public to meet researchers, academics and scientific societies during 5,000 events organized on the national territory.

Like every year, Uckange will partner with its Science Village, which has been a real success in the past year. The audience will be able to discuss with the representatives present on three topics: optics, energies and nature. A unique opportunity to understand, for example, how satellite radio, photovoltaic energy, optical illusions or even the solar system work.

3. To be amazed

The science village also has two shows for young and old: a nitrogen show (2.30pm and 4.30pm) and a circus outing (indigo circus).

4. Learn about environmental protection

The theme chosen this year, climate change will be at the center of the topic, with six situations related to biodiversity. An opportunity to learn more about sustainable forest management, the role of pollinating insects, garden birds and nectar plants and the importance of air quality controls in our region.

5. To discover the digital lab

The ArcelorMittal digital lab opened last February and has taken up residence in the former offices of the steelworks. This 2,000 square meter space dedicated to digital research and innovation will be open to the public for guided tours at 2:15 pm and 4 pm. In the program: demos of augmented reality helmets, cockpit view 4.0, etc.

2 p.m. to 6 p.m. U4 blast Furnace Park, free entry.
