Science Festival 2022
Toutes les versions de cet article : [English] [français]
The Science Festival 2022 (la Fête de la Science in French) took place on October 7-8 at the Ecole Polytechnique and on October 14-16 at the Sorbonne University. For this 31st edition, the national theme chosen was "Climate Awakening". The event gathered nearly 1500 visitors in Palaiseau and nearly 7000 people in Paris. As every year, the LPP was fully involved in the organization of the event.
In the Science Village of Sorbonne University (Pierre and Marie Curie Campus), the festivities were managed by the PLAS@PAR Federation. In addition to the traditional activities, such as meetings with researchers around thematic posters, 3D aurora projections, the plasma mirror, the spectroscopy workshop, the public had the opportunity to participate in the Escape Game Mission Eva Z’ionS and to attend the contemporary dance show “Bam ! Charge”, produced by the Federation’s physicists. Finally, the “Solar Orbiter” game inspired by the ESA’s eponymous space mission introduced the public to the scientific challenges of this exploration mission.
In the Science Village of the Ecole Polytechnique, the event was coordinated by the PLASMAScience, which brings together 7 laboratories of the IP Paris. Sixteen researchers, engineers, doctoral students and students took part in the event to help people discover plasma activities. The stand “Plasma in all its states” in the Great Hall, offered animations for children and adults around three main themes : plasma and energy, plasma and space and plasma and society. The visits of the LPP allowed to highlight the work of the three scientific teams of the laboratory : fusion plasmas, space plasmas and low-temperature plasmas. The public was impressed by the captivating experiments of the cold plasma team, the impressive Torix toroidal magnetized plasma of the magnetic fusion plasmas team and the magnetic sensors "made in LPP" of the space plasma team.
In addition to the stand and the traditional visits of laboratory in Palaiseau, visitors were able to discover the plasmas through an improvisation theater show “Plasma, who are you ?” which brought together nearly 200 spectators. Indeed, this year, the PLASMAScience experimented with a collaborative creation of researchers (popularized content) and actors (stage play), exploring the world of matter in a playful and interactive way. The main heroine, having difficulty controlling her anger, is struck by lightning (plasma). She finds herself in the dream world of matter. After meeting "The Solid", "The Liquid" and "The Gas", she goes in search of Plasman, the show’s star, rambunctious, chaotic, but sweet, who will help her return to the real world. This magical journey and the amazing encounters she makes will help her channel her emotions. And Plasman’s song enchanted the audience :
But who can also be cold ? It’s Plasman !
Who walks around in your neon lights ? It’s Plasman !
And in your televisions ? It’s Plasman !
Who is fighting pollution ? It’s Plasman !
What corrects the trajectories of your satellites, even if it’s very, very recent ? It’s Plasman !
Who kills tumors ? It’s Plasman !
And nuclear fusion ? It’s Plasman !
It’s all, it’s Plasman !”
Le programme 2022 était très riche et original ! Un grand Merci à tous ceux qui ont participé à l’organisation de la Fête de la science cette année !
