For the second consecutive year, the IceSafari team took part in the European Researchers’ Night on 30th September in Bucharest and on 1st October in Măgurele. The event makes science accessible to people of all ages, through scientific activities that combine education with entertainment. The public has the opportunity to meet and interact directly with researchers and scientists, in order to better understand the impact their work has on everyday life.
At the IceSafari stand, children and also adults passionate and interested in atmospheric science performed various experiments to discover how clouds, rain and tornadoes are formed. By using objects from everyday life, they were able to understand how different atmospheric phenomena occur. Cloud in a jar and Rain in a jar were among the most appreciated experiments, as both of them gave young children a chance to explore clouds and rain in an engaging way! Our team members also performed experiments to monitor the atmosphere with the help of high-tech specific devices (e. g Dustrak for particulate matter and radiometer coupled with a datalogger for solar radiation) for those participants who wanted to take a more in-depth look in the world of atmospheric science.
At our stand we had the chance to interact with Dr. Sebastian Burduja, the Minister of Research, Innovation and Digitalization. The discussion focused on the importance of encouraging future generations to explore the field of research and get closer to the fascinating world of science and technology.
Whether you think about starting a career in research or you are just passionate about science, European Researchers’ Night encouraged the curious minds of children and adults alike to be more engaged in the world around us!
