Look back at the 2026 Science Festival – Angers

At their booths, the Angers teams invited visitors of all ages to discover science in a different way, through a range of interactive workshops:
•    a pH workshop to measure the pH of food using a micropipette. In this experience, the pigments in red cabbage were used as colour indicators to determine whether a food is acidic or alkaline,

•    microscopic observation of fruit and vegetable preparations (skin, pulp, etc.) and mammalian cells. To complement this activity, a memory game challenged participants to match the images to the microscopic observations,

•    the game ‘Les cellules passent à table’ by Julianne Ceroni, to learn about the resources necessary for cells and understand what changes when a cell becomes cancerous,

•    microscopic observation of circulating cells or white blood cells (in suspension) and cancer cells,

•    a pipetting, centrifugation and vortex workshop for conducting experiments,

•    a science quiz to test participants’ knowledge, as well as a video presentation of the research conducted.

Thank you to everyone who visited our booths and to all the members of CRCI2NA who participated in this weekend of discovery and sharing!
