Lab team engages young minds at “Science is Wonderful!” event

Lab head Miri Yemini, postdoc Martyna Elerian, and PhD student Margarita Kiryushina represented our lab at the “Science is Wonderful!” science fair held on February 13-14, 2025, in Tervuren, Belgium. The team joined over 100 leading researchers from around the globe at this interactive celebration of science.

Our booth, “Make the World a Better Place – Get Involved!”, introduced visitors to the inspiring world of youth activism through engaging, student-friendly presentations. Attendees participated in our interactive role-play computer game where they could choose causes and advocacy methods, from petitions to peaceful protests. The booth also featured vocabulary games and creative activities where participants designed posters and banners to support causes they care about.

The event attracted diverse audiences, including school classes, families, and science enthusiasts, all eager to explore the interactive experiments, hands-on activities, and games offered throughout the two-day science extravaganza.
