Workshops for the little ones

For children aged 3 to 6, the La Schiusa workshop will allow them to animate the hatching of an egg using a simple clothespin. The Easter Hologram workshop will explore how holograms work and how to build a projector, based on the holographic method developed by Hungarian physicist Dennis Gabor.
