In this workshop, children can learn the basic principles of "unplugged programming" (6- to 8-year-old children) and robotics (9+ years old), be introduced to the components of computers through colouring (any age), find out about the LHC@Home volunteer computing platform (any age), and take a virtual tour of the Data Centre with virtual-reality goggles (any age).

See a section of the LHC tunnel used for evacuation training, the CERN's fire and rescue service and take part in a first-aid CPR challenge, fire-extinguisher training and more.

Children and adults can head here to discover how stars are born, to find out how heavy they would be on different planets, to see the magnetic field around a magnet, and much more.

What is it like to work at the CMS experiment? What do we learn from CMS and other experiments at the LHC? What are the technologies needed to run these experiments? Come and talk to scientists of all backgrounds to find out.

Take a selfie and let your friends and family know you were at CERN! With this poster of the CMS experiment as your background, people will think you actually visited the experiment.

Take a selfie and let your friends and family know you were at CERN! With this poster of the LHC as your background, people will think you were actually in the tunnel.

Discover the Middle East's SESAME light-source facility, with which CERN has a strong relationship. More details to come.

Is social media your thing? Come and see our social-media team in action at these Open Days. From Facebook Lives to Instagram stories, they will be covering the event's many planned activities as they happen.

Come and see one of the first solar electric cars (from 1984 and still operational) and a Citroen Dyane being charged up by solar power. You will be able to learn how solar electric or thermal panels work.

Come here to learn how superconducting radio-frequency cavities are cooled in liquid helium to accelerate beams in CERN machines to the highest energies. You will also learn how cavities are produced and tested, and you will see real cavities on display.
