This year, we participated in the 12th edition of theExpo-Sciences Luxembourg held on 8 and 9 October 2022 at the Geesseknäppchen Campus Forum. The Fondation Jeunes Scientifiques Luxembourg welcomed us as part of the Mobisciences programme.
We were 4 French, accompanied by Franky the mascot, coming from CIRASTI Occitanie, Les Petits Débrouillards and d'IncoGnu. We presented two different projects: a cognitive science research project dealing with the executive functions of the brain and music "Executives functions and music", and a biology project dealing with plant intelligence "When plants cogitate, biodiversity is agitated".
On the programme, visit of the Science Center, the Hauts-Fournaux and the University of Belval in connection with Esch-sur-Alzette, European Capital of Culture, visit to the city centre of Luxembourg through an Escape Game in the streets and thanks to the night of Museums, laser games game, contest on a VR game "Beat Saber" (which we won !), ... several exciting activities and leaving us full of great memories with the team and other young people !
We were also able to discover other cultures and awaken our taste buds during the Night Culture because 69 young people from 16 different countries were present during this edition like Belgium, Nigeria, Austria, Bulgaria, Spain, Italy ...
Musically, we were also amazed by the performance of 14-year-old singer Naomi Ayé during Culture Night, and a local pop artist, EDSUN, during the Closing Ceremony.
