Foyer 2nd Floor
Technorama is one of the largest science centres in the world. Initiated by the ECOC outreach event, Technorama provides ten hands-on experiments based on light for everybody to try and get stunned. So here's our tip: trust your instincts! The rest falls into place if you let your curiosity, joy in experimenting and play take the lead.
Light & Sight
Nothing determines our perception of the world more than light. Although not actually tangible, this mobile exhibition offers a real hands-on experience. Here, visitors weave with light and throw Coloured Shadows where one would actually expect black ones. Polarised Light quite literally casts our environment in another light. Or discover plasma, the stuff of which stars are made. Exciting and aesthetic experiments with this fourth state of matter are gathered here. Dompt serpentine strands of electrons with your bare hands – at the Plasma Ball in the entrance area!
