For nine hours, festival guests will be immersed in a fascinating world fundamental research and the latest technologies. The program of the event is designed for children from six years old, but their parents will also be interested!
Within the framework of the festival, 37 "activities" will take place in one day: scientific shows, lectures and master classes (the program is the same on September 16 and 17). But the most important thing that awaits young naturalists is the scientific presentation "HYPER Experiments". For a whole hour, viewers will be able to watch a vivid demonstration of complex scientific phenomena in the form of experiments carried out right on the stage.
September 13th was the rehearsal of "HYPER Experiments" and the photos really promise an impressive show.
The idea of this festival is explained by the organizers as follows: in order to interest children in ordinary school experiences, it is necessary to "elevate them to a hyper-degree", that is, to increase, to show all their entertainment. (In the photo below, for example, an experiment with a pendulum.)
But participants will not only be able to watch scientific experiments: at other festival sites, schoolchildren will be able to independently control robots, assemble an electrical circuit, learn how to melt metal, master the rules of resuscitation, and even try themselves as an oilman.
In addition, the guests of the festival are waiting for master classes and lectures on career guidance and everything related to the specialties of the future.
However, you can't list everything! Everyone who has the opportunity to be in Moscow this weekend should definitely acquaint schoolchildren with how science "looks like". However, residents of the regions should not be upset: the science festival WOW!HOW? positions itself as a turnkey mobile festival. So, in just three years, more than 20 festivals took place not only in the capital, but also in St. Petersburg, Kazan, Tula and other large cities. The organizers themselves are happy to accept applications for the festival from all over Russia. Who knows, maybe a holiday of science will come to your city too?
At the beginning school year in the halls of the presidium Russian Academy Sciences (RAS) for the twelfth time there will be a festival science for schoolchildren WOW!HOW?.

What to watch?
The film "Mom!"
Darren Aronofsky's film Mom! the press began to discuss long before its premiere at the Venice Film Festival. The reason was the romance of the director with the performer leading role Jennifer Lawrence. Against this background, many have forgotten that Aronofsky is, first of all, one of the most non-standard directors of our time and the author of such cult films like "Black Swan" and "Requiem for a Dream". His new film "Mom!" already put on a par with these legendary paintings. Critics and first viewers met "Mom!" ambiguous: someone almost hated this film, someone was delighted with it, and someone simply did not understand. At the box office, the genre of the tape was designated as "horror", but in fact it goes beyond the classical typology of genres. The official synopsis of the tape is: “A story about a young couple whose relationship is being tested for strength from the moment the uninvited guests arrive at the heroes,” but in fact the plot has a powerful religious connotation. Details are important in this tape, so turn on all your attention before watching - within two hours you will have to understand why there is no music in the tape, and listen to individual phrases of the dialogues.
