The annual event, themed 'Unbelievable!,' highlights cutting-edge scientific discoveries and experiments aimed at captivating visitors of all ages.

From explosive bacteria in bursting test tubes to microscopic views of in vitro cells, attendees will experience a diverse array of interactive exhibits designed to provoke wonder and curiosity.

The Creative Zone, a new addition this year, promises unique intersections of science and art.

Visitors can expect demonstrations such as glassblowing and molding, where science meets creativity in workshops offering hands-on experiences.

The idea behind such activities is not only to educate but also to inspire participants to explore their own creative potentials.

Initiated by Polish Radio 27 years ago, the Science Picnic has evolved into a landmark event, recognized by the European Commission for its contribution to science and society.

Held annually since 2008 in collaboration with the Copernicus Science Centre, the picnic serves as a platform for disseminating knowledge across various scientific disciplines.

From showcasing state-of-the-art robotics like the award-winning Sarmatron to hosting workshops on electronic music production, the event caters to a wide range of interests and ages, reinforcing its role as a crucial scientific gathering in Central Europe.

Admission to the Science Picnic is free, reflecting its mission to make science accessible to all. 

Coverage of the event will be broadcast live by Polish Radio.
