Join the CERN Fitness club and others on the Sustainable Dance Floor, which uses human movement as a source of energy. This kinetic energy is converted into electricity that powers the floor's LED lights. Through this process, the floor interacts with the dancers to involve them in an interactive energy experience.

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

Meyrin

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.

Meyrin

Witness and admire superconductivity in action in various demonstrations and have a go yourself. The demonstrations include a mini levitating train, a superconducting bicycle, a levitating scooter and many more.

Meyrin

Come and experience collisions of a different kind with members of CERN's very own Table Football club.

Meyrin

Step back in time, retrace CERN's history and discover, with amazing video-mapping technology, how CERN's first accelerator, the Synchrocyclotron, worked between 1957 to 1990.
