The Big Bang Collective at Ostrava!

We had a fantastic time bringing science to WOMAD 2024 with our Festival Programme. Throughout the week, visitors enjoyed hands-on soldering workshops, experimented with sonic levitation, and engaged in discussions about artificial intelligence. We had talks covering all areas of science from space exploration, the physics of the three-body problem—all and a packed session on the future of transport featuring Robert Llewellyn from Fully Charged. 2024 also saw the return of the spectacular nighttime Tesla coil created by Alessandro Cerri of the University of Sussex.

Set in a beautiful forest in central Denmark, this was the first year for the CERN Festival Programme at Smukfest. The Science Pavilion had a stellar programme welcoming not only a Nobel Prize winner but also the Danish commander of the International Space Station to the stage.

We traveled to the seaside town of Benicassim for this lively, friendly reggae music festival with our Discovery Lab!
