IdeaSquare’s student programmes differ from other academic courses thanks to their strong connection to CERN. Indeed, students perceive CERN as a “highly inspiring and motivating place”, and their discussions with CERN scientists and engineers “a special experience”. The fact that they can access CERN technologies in their project application phases —such as in ATTRACT projects— confirms IdeaSquare’s motto, “a licence to dream”, as a true declaration of intent. Because thinking exponentially instead of incrementally is one of the main goals of our educational programmes, the IdeaSquare team has developed its own curriculum entitled Design the Future.
