7 thematic zones and more than 1,000 demonstrations. We know the details of the 23. Science Picnic
From microprocessors to rockets. From simple levers to supercomputers. The progress of science allows us to build more and more perfect mechanisms to make more discoveries. At 23. Science Picnic we will check what connects people and machines. We invite you on May 11 this. At the PGE Narodowy at. 11.00 – 20.00. We are already revealing a virtual map of the event and the highlights of the 7 thematic zones introduced for the first time, which will feature nearly 1,000 shows. Free admission to all.
Science Picnic, ktory this year will be held under the motto „We and Machines", is Europe’s largest popular science outdoor event. It is intended for all whoowho are curious about the world – regardless of the already acquired knowledge and regardless of age. This year, for the first time, the Picnic space has been divided into 7 thematic zones. This will allow visitors to easilyob find the shows that interest them most, while exhibitors benefit from their readability. This is important because on that day the showoThere will be almost 1,000 exhibits, prepared by more than 200 exhibitorsofrom Poland and abroad.
Future Zone
Here you will find inventions, technologies and research, ktore changing our daily lives. Robot worldow will cease to be so mysterious and will even turn out to be funny after meeting the friendly MelSon, a humanoid whoory runs brilliantly, practices sumo, can imitate human movements.
