Understand through experimentation? Scientastic's audience has tried it out as a family.
EPFL's Valais Wallis campus in Sion hosted the school's third annual science festival this past weekend, drawing a large public turnout. 4100 visitors seized the opportunity. The solar flowers at the entrance to EPFL's campus in Sion spun non-stop. These paper structures came straight out of one of the workshops held for visitors to the Scientastic festival.

Visitors of all ages could be seen walking around with their solar flowers. 'The workshop has been full since this morning,' said one of the organizers.
