Une seule règle prévaut au Science Festival: «Surtout toucher à tout»! Les 64 stands sont là pour ça et les scientifiques qui les animent totalement disposés à servir de moniteurs aux visiteurs les plus curieux. Certains se sont creusés la tête pour susciter l'intérêt du jeune public. C'est notamment le cas du Scienteens Lab de l'Uni qui a mis en place... une fausse scène de crime à base de silhouette dessinée au sol et de jus de tomate. Pas dupes, les enfants ne sont pas laissés berner. Mais cela ne les a pas empêché de résoudre l'affaire en prélevant et analysant l'ADN, et en travaillant sur un mystérieux code mathématique.

«C'est un moyen ludique de les intéresser aux sciences. Qu'ils comprennent qu'elles servent aussi à résoudre des énigmes», commente André Fernandes, étudiant. Voilà tout l'esprit du Science Festival, qui réunit des milliers de visiteurs chaque année dans le Grund. Principalement un public familial durant le week-end, alors que les deux premiers jours (jeudi et vendredi) étaient réservés aux groupes scolaires.
