Childrens Clubs Starting in February.
We welcome applications from children who are interested in science, who would like to learn more about the mysteries of each discipline, participate in the creation of a new “get-out” game or demonstrate exciting experiments themselves.
The cost of attending the sessions, which run until the end of May, is HUF10,000. Each club member will receive a personal Agora Club card, which will be valid for visiting the Agora Science Experience Centre during opening hours! You can register for the sessions by filling in the form. Children can continue to join the clubs even after they have started.

Club activities let you build the city of your dreams, explore how a town works, and find out what robots do and why they’re needed. Find out how to produce clean water, keep your residents healthy with the right amount of vitamin C and make their lives easier with modern technology. Solve experiment-based challenges and get out of the city!

Join the Audience for the Experimentation Club
Does it excite you to be chosen from the audience to perform in an exciting experimental show? Are you excited by the sight of billowing smoke, colour-changing solutions, or geysers of mixtures bubbling up from a test tube? Would you like to try your hand on stage? If you’d like to take a peek behind the scenes and put on your lab coat, join our latest experimental club! Come and take the show on the road!
In the club sessions, participants can learn about the science behind spectacular experiments, immerse themselves in the world of science education, design their own show and become a performer themselves. They can also learn how to make an exciting, spectacular video of the performance!
Applications are accepted from 10 to 14 years old.
Scheduled time: every Thursday 4:30 p.m. to 5:45 p.m.
