Science Kids Day, a science festival for children, has been launched in the Atom pavilion. Leading Russian scientists - astronomers, physicists, biologists, neurophysiologists - will tell about the latest achievements of science in simple, understandable language in a stand-up format and will conduct exciting quests.

"There are events of different formats for children from six to 18 years old at the festival. The youngest kids can participate in a quest during the day - go on a fantastic journey through time and get acquainted with such great scientists as Albert Einstein, Ernest Rutherford, Marie Curie and, of course, Igor Kurchatov. The kids will perform various tasks in a game format. For older students we have a lecture program, which also goes all day long. Biologists, paleontologists, physicists, neurophysiologists, and astronomers make presentations", - said Roman Pereborshchikov, deputy head of the Department of Educational and Outreach Projects of the Atom Foundation.

Today, astronomers Dmitry Vibe and Vladimir Surdin, biologists Ilya Gomyranov and Elena Sudarikova, sports psychophysiologist Daria Zhigulskaya and other scientists give lectures for young researchers and their parents.

 In the evening the festival will turn into a field of scientific duels - Science Slam will be held in the pavilion, said Roman Pereborshchikov. Scientists will tell the audience about their research in a stand-up format. The best slammer will be determined by measuring the decibels of audience applause.

 During the New Year vacation in Atom, children and adults will be able to attend educational classes. Thus, on January 6 and 8, children aged 10-12 are invited to a masterclass in chemistry within the framework of the project Children's Academy of Atom: together with the teacher, participants will conduct experiments and learn the secrets of atomic energy.
