You may not have known, but there's a school where DNA can be deciphered as a family! Good news: it has created some amazing experiments for you where science becomes a game. Put on your apprentice researcher badge, approach the microscope, and keep your eyes peeled... because the infinitely small has many secrets to reveal! Between surprising experiments and challenges to overcome, a real dive into the world of biology awaits you. Ready to play at being a budding scientist?

Star Academy of DNA

At the DNA School in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, put on your lab coat and step into the shoes of a real scientist! Explore the secrets of life and discover how researchers conduct their laboratory experiments. Experiments, discoveries, debates... an exciting program to help you understand the world around you and play at being (a little) mad scientists, all in a fun atmosphere accessible to the whole family!

DNA? Elementary, my dear Watson!

What if you set out to discover what makes you... you? What defines life? Why are you human and not a goat or a ladybug? To find out, head to the infinitely small! Together, explore the cell, this incredible basic unit of life, and try to extract your own DNA. A touch of science, a pinch of curiosity, and there you are, unlocking the secrets of your genetic heritage. Who would have thought that a tiny cell could say so much about you?

Science doesn't wait!

When a simple walk in the forest turns into a mystery, it's time to call in the CSIs... and this time, it's you! Pierrot and his faithful Brittany spaniel weren't expecting to stumble upon a strange case along the way. A discarded bandage, chewed gum, a soda can left behind: every clue counts! It's up to you to lead the investigation, analyze the evidence, and piece together the puzzle to find the culprit. Ready to put on your scientific coats and reveal the truth?
