CERN Accelerating science

Tinker Lab in IdeaSquare open to the public

Tinker Lab in Ideasquare

What's the value of out-of-box thinking? 

Participants will explore, experiment, and reflect on the value of thinking out of the box in innovation and research, using simple and affordable materials.  

Then they will also get a short tour of IdeaSquare, CERN’s collaborative innovation space, showcasing how prototyping and playful exploration mirror the challenges and creative processes that drive technological advances at CERN.

Come to our Arduino workshops at IdeaSquare and learn how to use electronic tools for rapid prototyping

Using electronic tools for rapid prototyping, and programming for hardware projects and the big world of Internet-of-Things, is possible if you know how to interface an Arduino. This microcontroller board can represent diverse objects connected to the Internet, for example, traffic lights, air quality monitors, or presence detectors.
