Visitors will be able to approach it in a variety of areas. “This year We have used more interactivity.”, says Iacampo. “This is an area of Virtual Reality, where you have one game to go.

They need to get the right elements together. With this process the young people’s enthusiasm for science and to teach them how the problems have to be addressed. The robots, which you can see here, even by the space agency NASA, used the tests to do so. Exactly, they work.”
