How about spending a night at the science center, trying out virtual reality, working with robots, observing experiments, and completing a special night mission with your classmates? Ventspils Science Center VIZIUM offers the “Science Detective” adventure to 10th-12th grade students throughout the year, which allows you to turn a regular class excursion into an exciting science and technology adventure with an overnight stay at the science center.
During the night adventure, students will experience a variety of hands-on activities and team tasks. Young people will work with VR glasses and robots, participate in a digital sound workshop, watch a night science show, complete tasks in the VIZIUM exhibition hall, and learn about the possibilities of artificial intelligence and game development.
The event is provided for one class/group in the age range from 10th to 12th grade. The minimum number of participants is 30 people. You can register all year round by filling out the form here: www.adre.se/pieteikmisijaikalsi.
