Swiss adventure

On September 9-15, students of class 3e and other third grades participated in a science camp in Switzerland.

The highlight of the program was a visit to the European Organization for Nuclear Research CERN, where we attended interesting lectures, met CERN employees, learned what research at the Center is all about, and interactively explored the laws of physics using the attractions of the exhibition section. During our trip we visited the Swiss capital Bern, as well as Geneva, Lausanne with the Olympic Museum and the medieval Chillon Castle. We also had the opportunity to experience the beauty and power of nature at the Rheinfall or Trummelbach waterfalls, while walking along the shores of Lake Geneva in Montreux or taking the cable car to the Aiguille du Midi (3842 meters above sea level) and the ice cave of France’s largest glacier, Mer de Glace. A highlight of the trip was also a visit to the world’s first chocolate factory – Maison Cailler.

The trip was, in all respects, a very valuable and beautiful experience for all participants.
