Next Friday, May 8, the South Promenade of the Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències hosts the UPV Invention Fair. A free event that brings science to family audiences with 51 proposals: 34 innovation stands and 17 educational workshops. In the morning (10:30 AM - 2:00 PM) for schools, and in the afternoon (4:30 PM - 8:00 PM) for families and curious visitors.
51 proposals to see science in action 🔬
Attendees will find everything from applied robotics prototypes to recreational physics experiments. The stands showcase real technological developments, while the workshops allow participants to handle materials and understand scientific principles. The schedule separates the more structured school visit from the family session, where the pace is set by the attendees themselves. There are no lectures or master talks; everything is practical and direct.
Inventions that won't make you a millionaire (but will make you smarter) 🤓
Heads up, don't expect to find the next gadget here that will let you retire at 40. What you'll find here are university prototypes, many looking like DIY models with a few loose wires here and there. But hey, watching a 10-year-old explain how a homemade hydraulic arm works is worth more than any TV commercial. And it's free.
