Etna Comics
6-9 June – Catania
INFN returns to Etna Comics, the International Festival of Comics, Games and Pop Culture. Thanks to the researchers of INFN Kids, the INFN Division of Catania and the INFN Southern National Laboratories, the children will be able to discover the elementary particles, the smallest bricks of matter, that make up everything, from the objects we use to the environment that surrounds us, to the vast universe.
From 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., INFN will welcome young and old to its stand in the family area of the festival, offering the Leo and Alice comic strip series by INFN Kids, and various laboratory and game activities, such as particle memory, lego, atoms and nuclei, and amazing workshops on electromagnetism.
