School visits
Because invention and creativity begin at an early age, the International Exhibition of Inventions Geneva is delighted to welcome schools on Wednesday 11, Thursday 12 and Friday 13 March.
At the heart of the Exhibition, pupils will have the opportunity to discover inventions from around the world, talk to passionate inventors, watch demonstrations and take part in interactive workshops.
These school visits reflect the Exhibition’s desire to stimulate curiosity, develop inventive thinking and encourage young people to imagine new solutions for tomorrow’s world. These unique moments of discovery and inspiration may well give rise to future inventors!
Register your class
You can register your pupils for one of our workshops using the online form, selecting the desired activity. Some workshops must be booked directly with our partners; their contact details are provided on the form.
If you prefer to organise a visit independently, your class is welcome to take a ‘free tour’ without workshops and can enjoy the exhibition at their leisure.
Due to high demand, each class may only register for one workshop. The Exhibition reserves the right to cancel any additional registrations in the event of multiple registrations for the same class.
Teachers' guide
To ensure that your visit is both enriching and enjoyable for everyone, we invite you to make your students aware of the importance of maintaining a calm and respectful atmosphere and of exploring each booth or area with curiosity, but above all with respect.
We count on your vigilance as accompanying adults, as the students remain under your full responsibility throughout your visit.
Thank you for your enthusiasm and involvement, and enjoy your visit to the Exhibition!
