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.
