What is Science Weekend? 

Once every month we arrange a Science Weekend for children and young people at Vitenparken Here, curiosity is combined with science and creativity through fun activities for young and old.

Each Science Weekend has its own unique theme and our facilitators set the framework for educational, interactive and fun activities that help children develop their interests in science, creativity and the environment.
