Geneva, 11 July 2013. CERN and EUROVISION are awarding grants to two production companies to develop multiplatform media proposals to spark the scientific curiosity of “tweens” – children aged eight to twelve.
“Children are the most remarkable example of curiosity,” said Sergio Bertolucci, CERN’s Director of Research and Computing. “We should not limit this curiosity, but develop it”.
"The best children's programmes educate and inform without the viewer even being aware,” says Annika Nyberg-Frankenhaeuser, EUROVISION Media director. “These science-themed series should not only entertain children, but inspire a new generation of scientists and inventors.”
