Guided visits to ICFO
discover the power of photonics
through interactive activities
ICFO opens its doors often to groups of students (from the age of 14) or of adults. You will discover the importance of photonics for society and the cutting-edge research developed at ICFO through an engaging activity: the ICFO Decide Game.
All visits are free and last about 2 hours.
If you can’t come here at ICFO, you can join the online version of the Decide Game or the Toca la llum workshop that we designed for CosmoCaixa.
