The Embassy of Hungary, just like last year, would like to provide an opportunity for talented Hungarian students to present their work at sCYence Fair 2025.
The youngsters arriving from Hungary especially for the event are developing an interactive book to help children and adults with autism spectrum disorder to prepare for medical tests. Unexpected situations, strong sensory stimuli and unpredictability can cause increased anxiety. The purpose of the interactive book is to create a tool that reduces unnecessary anxiety, increases predictability and facilitates the medical care process for both patients and healthcare workers.
What makes the book unique and innovative?
Multisensory experience – The book contains not only visual information, but also tactile, smelly and moving elements to help with sensory processing.
Modular design – The individual elements of the book are changeable and it can be customized to suit children of different ages with different sensitivities.
Further development possibilities – The interactive book could be complemented in the future with a digital app that would provide additional visual and sound effects to help to adapt to individual needs.
The foundation of the Nobel Prize is the 1895 will and testament of inventor and industrialist Alfred Nobel. In it, Nobel decreed that the proceeds of his fortune would be used as prizes to award those “who have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind” in five fields: physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and peace.
Visit the Nobel exhibition of the Embassy of Sweden at the sCYence Fair 2025, learn about Alfred Nobel and take part in the quiz about the Nobel Prize!”
The French Institute and the French Embassy in Cyprus are participating in sCYence Fair 2025 proposing a virtual reality immersion experience inside Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris offered by the Micro-Folie project (French Ministry of Culture and La Villette). A unique experience for lovers of heritage and new technologies!
A Micro-Folie is a modular space offering playful access to works from the greatest national museums through the Digital Museum. Accessible, interactive, and cutting-edge, the Micro-Folie project brings culture to life, bridging the gap between artistic heritage and modern technology.
In January 2025, the Micro-Folie project and the public institution “Rebâtir Notre-Dame de Paris” issued a special edition focused on Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. The collection presents over 300 works on the cathedral, its history and the challenges surrounding its reconstruction, together with a virtual reality immersion experience inside Notre-Dame. The French Institute and the French Embassy in Cyprus are glad to share this unique experience with the students, the teachers and the visitors of sCYence Fair 2025.
An interactive workshop stand enabling visitors to learn about the achievements of outstanding Polish scientists. Participants can enjoy a range of activities from different fields of science. Most take place under the supervision of an animator, although there is also a space for exploration on one’s own.
The workshops combine science with fun, encouraging experimentation, exploration and self-discovery. Activities based on the STEM approach, integrating science, technology, engineering and mathematics, develop the participants’ logical thinking and creativity as well as analytical and manual skills. In addition, they will allow participants to learn about the achievements of Polish science, which have influenced the development of the world.
The Embassy of the Netherlands will have small science experiments with:
- Secret writing
- Fingerprints recognition
- Gravity
- Creating a lava lamp
The Daisy is an innovative robotic social assistance system designed to support children on the autism spectrum. It combines a huggable plush robot with a user-friendly management interface, acting as a mediator that enhances participation, learning, and communication.
