Family ActivitiesNavet - Science CenterAt NAVET, you can test, press, feel and experiment. Play a game in Baghdad, climb into a heart, avoid setting off the alarm and feed the dragon!

NAVET has challenges of various kinds, try out what you can or what you dare. New for this year is “Förändringsresan” - try this one too!

NAVET has taken the first step with the big “Förändringsresan” - a car, beef and a home! With a focus on the environment and humans in the sustainable society, NAVET links together the natural sciences and playfully shows what each one of us can do for the future.

A large part of NAVET has been rebuilt with the new Experiment Stations and Exhibition Models. Here you can find the KRAV-shop, a waste station where you can compete to see who can sort the fastest and correctly, a large globe to lean on, a grove that shows the cycle of carbon atoms, a model of shining lights in various long lines that show emissions and the energy consumption of different vehicles - and lots of other things.Nybrogatan 9A, Borås+46 33-41 00 09 www.navet.com
