Technorama Laboratories: Experience science, shape the future 

With its seven specialized laboratories, the Swiss Science Center Technorama runs Switzerland's largest extracurricular laboratory program. Every year, over 30,000 children, young people, and adults take part in workshops on biology, chemistry, physics, and tinkering. In addition, the OpenLabs, which are open daily, enable around 50,000 visitors to experiment freely under expert guidance. 

During the project period from 2026 to 2028, physical and digital elements will be more closely linked in order to make science even more tangible. Children and young people are familiarized with the creative process of experimentation and investigation and experience how scientific thinking is applied in practice. They are encouraged to work together to develop solutions to real-world problems, thereby strengthening key future skills such as critical thinking, communication, creativity, and collaboration. 

The content and methods of the programs are aligned with the official curriculum and complement classroom instruction in a targeted manner. Teachers receive free exploratory visits and didactic advice to ensure optimal preparation. 

With this project, Technorama is making a lasting contribution to promoting young talent in STEM subjects and strengthening scientific skills in an increasingly complex world.
