Organized by Pays de Gex Agglo
A 2-hour forest walk for the whole family (remember to bring your boots!).

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26
6:00 pm to 7:30 pm: Mission levain
Hosted by La Ressourcerie
Learn all about sourdough culture! You’ll make your own pizza dough, to cook at home later. But you’ll also make and taste a recipe using surplus sourdough, so you can learn even more!

SATURDAY FEBRUARY 28
2:00 pm to 3:00 pm: The superpowers of animals
Hosted by Infloresciences
Ages 10 and up.
What is animal instinct? Do flies have a memory? Are animals capable of empathy and reasoning? Explore the scientific discoveries of recent years to gain a better understanding of animal intelligence and dispel preconceived ideas about animals!
3:00 pm to 4:00 pm: Inside the heads of machines
Hosted by CERN
Ages 10 and up.
Slip into the shoes of an artificial intelligence and take on interactive challenges to understand how computers are inspired by the human brain.
