Open day at the ISAE-SUPAERO campus

As part of the Science Fair, organized this year around the theme of 'popular opinion', the ISAE-SUPAERO will open its entire campus to the public on Saturday, October 13 from 10.00 to 18.00. The event is aimed at families, businesses, partners, journalists or alumni (former students) and more than 3,000 people are expected to attend.

Several discussions will take place throughout the day to explain and debunk popular opinion with the general public: "Mechanics is not for girls", "We use only 10% of our brain", "Robots are smart", "Digital simulation is only for geeks", "Astronauts float because there's no gravity", "Laser beams are only used for fighting in science fiction movies", "Aircraft engines pollute the atmosphere and they're noisy", and many more.
