Discovery Workshops


Educational workshops based on experimentation to discover electricity and new energies. Animated by our scientific mediators, one-day or half-day programs to be proposed or elaborated with you. 

These workshops are aimed at all levels: elementary, middle and high school. We adapt their content. You can make a reservation or request information at the end of this page.

The class, in small groups, guided by our mediators, can combine workshops of experimentation, visit of the Museum, discovery of the house where André-Marie Ampère spent his youth...

It is also possible to combine workshops on other themes: history (Lyon during the French Revolution), science and technology (botany, geology) including an educational walk on marked paths.
