There are places where you just become a kid again! The Techmania Science Center in Plzen is just such a place and you can marvel and have fun here for many hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

From the historical downtown you can walk to the Techmania Science Center. It is located on the premises of \u0160koda plants. This is not an accidental location. In 2005, the project was launched by the joint stock company \u0160koda Transportation with the University of West Bohemia in Plzen and opened in 2008. The hall in which the center is located is a former factory hall, which can now be used by young and old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Techmania Science Center aims to bring science closer to the general public and especially to young people and children in a playful way. In addition, the “makers” of the exhibitions also want to encourage people to deal with unanswered questions and thus inspire and motivate new people interested in science to pursue their passion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bridge leads to the main building of the science center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we could even get to the cash registers, we were already caught up in the first experiment. A thermal imaging camera took pictures of us and we could check right away if our body temperature was okay. Since there were no other visitors waiting to enter the building, we had to try out right away how the images changed when we rubbed our cheeks a little warm and a short jog on the spot increased our heart rate a little. It’s amazing what changes such small movements can show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the entrance area, a staircase leads into a large hall. Even from up here, you can see a wide variety of stations, all of which looked insanely exciting and some of which didn’t even begin to reveal what might be on display there. We set off to discover science!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A small note on the side:<\/strong> At almost all stations, the descriptions of the experiments are also given in German. So you can try out really well and understand the results. I had the feeling that all stations were explained in such a way that children from about 8-10 years can understand them without any problems. But for adults it should not mean that it was only “kids stuff”. Very often we stood there really perplexed and thought about why what works how. Only through the explanations we then understood it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So what can you discover at the Techmania Science Center?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    We were first drawn to the “Sailing or Sinking” area. Here are large overseas containers in which the most diverse exhibits are displayed. It revolves exclusively around the theme of natural forces at sea and seafaring. For example, you can rescue yourself from a sinking ship, try out how water vortices form or steer a ship. Everything is designed to be interactive and through the activity you learn to approach the subject in a playful way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
