On 12 and 13 September, Parc d’Atraccions Tibidabo will be filled with experiments and shows to bring science closer to everyone, young and old
As another school year begins, Parc d’Atraccions Tibidabo and the Polytechnic University of Catalonia – BarcelonaTech (UPC) are holding another edition of Physics Week, with two days of workshops and fun to bring science closer to everyone – young and old – in the magical setting of Tibidabo.
On 12 and 13 September, visitors to Tibidabo will receive a passport to fill in as they take part in the various educational activities found throughout the park. There will be workshops and shows for all ages all day long.
The activities on offer include Astronomia, a show to whet everyone’s appetite for the solar eclipse that will be visible from Barcelona next year, and the Autòmats workshop, inspired by the Tibidabo Automaton Museum, where participants will make their own version of some of the most iconic automata in the park, such as Monyos.
On top of that, as in previous editions of Physics Week, visitors can scan QR codes at the entrances to several rides to access videos where Bi, one of Tibidabo’s mascots, will explain how each ride works and invite viewers to conduct experiments.
Also participating in Physics Week will be a host of retro-futuristic characters from the Associació Retrofuturista Nautilus and the jazz band Moby Dixie, who will entertain arriving visitors.
Tibidabo’s initiatives combining fun and science outreach are part of its commitment to education and innovation. This is a great opportunity to get little ones into science through play and fun.
