Day Of Science 2026: Discover, Experience and Experiment at Thor Park
On Sunday, 15 November, it’s time for another edition of Science Day! During this annual science event, you’ll discover just how fascinating science and technology can be. EnergyVille will also be there at the T2-campus in Genk, with activities for curious visitors of all ages. Come and experiment, explore innovative technologies and be amazed by the science shaping the world of tomorrow!
Discover the activities
Energy Expedition!
During Energy Expedition, you hop on a bike and generate your own electricity. Then, through a game, you discover how EnergyVille researchers are developing new types of solar panels: ultra-light, strong or even slightly transparent. This means solar panels can be used in many more places than just rooftops.
Get on your bike, play and discover how solar panels work and what we can use them for!
From racetrack to electric race car
How do you build a race car powered by electricity? Discover the electric race car developed by the Formula Electric Belgium team and learn more about the technology behind this impressive vehicle. It’s not just about speed, but also smart engineering and innovation.
A radio shelter: communicating without the internet
No Wi-Fi, no internet. Can you still communicate? At the radio shelter, discover how radio technology makes communication possible without relying on the internet. Explore a technology that remains valuable even beyond our everyday digital world.
Build your own Joule thief!
A nearly empty battery doesn't have to be useless. During this workshop, you'll discover the Joule thief, an electronic circuit that can make use of small amounts of energy from a low voltage. Roll up your sleeves and find out how electronics work in practice.
Radio GRK live at Science Day
Radio GRK will broadcast live from Thor Park during Science Day. EnergyVille experts will talk about their research into energy and technology. How does AI affect our energy consumption? How can we make electricity grids smarter? And what new applications are there for solar energy? Come and see how a live broadcast works and tune in to the conversations with our experts!
