Schools

The Pass offers educational programmes for all ages which aim to instil the pleasure of understanding science.

An innovative tool to support teachers and their pupils

A place of questions and of active discovery and experimentation, the Pass helps and motivates all pupils to discover science and technology, opening their minds to a vast range of cultural possibilities.
The exhibitions and events combine an educational approach with fun experiments to arouse pupils' curiosity, stimulate questions, and encourage them to learn more and develop their critical faculties.
The themes covered vary widely: from the human body to genetics, from the ecosystem of the slag heap to the region's social history, from television to programming a robot, from the global economy to managing personal finances, from agriculture to food, from objects to the materials they are made from... the aim is to see daily life from another perspective, through the prism of a scientific, technical and humanist culture.

Programmes of visits adapted to pupils' ages and the aims of their teachers

The educational team has designed visit programmes suited to all educational levels. Each programme offers activities led by a guide combined with opportunities for more independent discovery using attractive tools.
