Unique experiences to enjoy

The scientific laboratory hosts exciting exhibitions organised around multidisciplinary scientific subjects. They are regularly renewed and adapted to all audiences. The comprehensive and engaging explanations appeal to the young as well as the older visitors. You can also explore virtual exhibitions and educational games (games mixing entertainment and pedagogy) to learn while having fun. The exhibitions keep their promise by immersing visitors in the depths of science and new technologies. New in 2017 is the life-sized Escape Game that attracts a large number of visitors. The goal is to find as many clues as possible to escape from the game area.

A Fab Lab to create your own science

On the 1st floor of the Hangar of Cap Sciences a Fab Lab, a Living Lab and a Living Room share the space. The Fab Lab is an open-source manufacturing laboratory exclusively dedicated to creation and innovation. Aspiring scientists and adventurous inventors alike can give life to their projects thanks to free access equipment (3D printer, laser cutting, electronic Arduino and many others) under the guidance of a scientist knowledgeable in new technologies. Subjects to discover are robotics, mechanics or electronics. Experience the real Do It Yourself and share your ideas and knowledge with a community of enthusiasts.
