The Curiosity Cube
The Curiosity Cube is a retrofitted shipping container that has been transformed into a mobile science lab. This year's focus revolves around the theme of 'Sustainability'.
Inside the Curiosity Cube visitors of all ages experience:
• Hands-on science experiments
• New technology
• Interactions with real-life scientists
• Participation is free!
Life scientists from Merck are ready to conduct experiments with you, highlighting sustainable practices through the life cycle of a t-shirt.
Discover the differences in the production of t-shirts and the materials used, how renewable energy contributes to more sustainable production and what can be created from old t-shirts in the recycling process.
