The Festival of Science and Philosophy “Experimenta” returns with activities designed for all ages

“Science does not test, it explores.” It's a quote from anthropologist and sociologist Gregory Bateson that accompanies, in the 2024 edition, a section “an experience” from XIII “Festival of Science and Philosophy – Virtue and Canosenza”any Cultural container for laboratory activities Which joins the conferences every year, to give the audience moments in which they can experience science first-hand. Curated by Professor Corrado Morisi, “Experimenta” will consist of 15 laboratoriesdesigned and hosted by all ages Friday 12 to Sunday 14 April at Palazzo Brunetti Candiotti in Foligno. fourInstead of that, expertise that the audience will experience In the city of Fabriano Marche.

“This year – explains Professor Corrado Morisi – we will present 15 innovative laboratories In various scientific and technological fields.

In particular, some activities designed for young and very young children will be able to promote and develop manipulative skills and creativity. Children and adults will be able to feel smaller and be drawn to the live observation, for example, of the sun or the “vernal constellations in the sky above Foligno” under the vault of the planetarium.
