Until November 30, the town of Neuillé-Pont-Pierre is hosting an exhibition at the Jean-Marie-Chardon village hall on the themes of science and biodiversity. This initiative is set up by the center for the promotion of technical and industrial scientific culture (CCSTI), whose actions on science and research are organized throughout the regional territory for all audiences.
This project aims to carry out an intervention on a current scientific theme. Supported by the Centre-Val de Loire Region and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the cultural weeks are part of a policy of developing regional actions of technical and industrial scientific culture in rural areas, with the aim of reaching audiences far from regional research and cultural sites.
The entertainment system takes place throughout the week for schools, but openings to the general public are also planned for Wednesday November 27 afternoon and all day Saturday November 30. On site, visitors will be able to view an interactive exhibition made up of panels and modules of a scientific nature as well as the cosmorium, under which the public will attend a digital and immersive show with 180° projection.
Free entry. Exhibition hall of Neuillé-Pont-Pierre, rue de Poillé. All week, exhibition for schools. Open to the public on Wednesday 27, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., cosmorium sessions at 2:30 p.m., 3:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.; Saturday 30, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., cosmorium sessions at 11 a.m., 2:45 p.m. and 3:45 p.m.
**How does the “cosmorium”, the exhibition’s digital immersive experience, bridge the gap between traditional science education and the engagement of younger generations accustomed to interactive technology?**
