Youngsters showcase inventions at massive science fair
Belgium’s primary and secondary school students are showing off their inventions and research at Wetenschaps¬EXPOSciences today in Brussels
Picnic on your bike
To encourage an interest in science and technology, VUB and JSB challenged the Belgian students from both primary and secondary schools to design their own science projects. A jury with representatives from business and research will look for the most innovative projects.
Among the ideas for new inventions are a bicycle that can be turned into a picnic table and a fully-automatic inflatable fence to protect houses against floods.
The youngsters can also participate in hands-on activities during the event, including entering a simulator to experience what an astronaut feels in space, meeting a robot and carrying out experiments in a lab environment.
