In addition to exhibitions and conferences to better understand science in general, the Espace Mendès-France offers multidisciplinary workshops. Engineers, artists, animators or researchers make up a rich program. In addition, the planetarium - with its 4,000 stars - allows everyone to immerse themselves in space for an hour and a half and observe the movements of the stars. After the head in the stars, the little ones are invited to workshops that are practiced with their feet on the ground: create a 3D video game, make bread, recycled paper, investigate through DNA, pilot a drone. There are many themes, but the best way to learn is through experimentation and fun.
