At EPFL, a strategy for organising scientific outreach activities has been developed and a programme comprising various measures and actions elaborated to promote science and technology among youngsters, especially young girls. As part of this programme, workshops and chemistry camps are developed and carried out for children and youngsters aged from 7 to 16 years old. These workshops are adapted to the age of the participants and allow them to discover chemistry in a fascinating way and become familiar with this field, understand how useful it is to society and learn about the professions it opens up. Some of the workshops take place at EPFL and others are organised in schools in the French-speaking cantons of Switzerland during the touring campaign of a bus named 'Les sciences, ça m'intéresse !' ('Sciences Interest Me!').
在洛桑联邦理工学院,已经制定了一项组织科学推广活动的策略,并精心策划了一个包含各种措施和行动的项目,以在年轻人,尤其是年轻女孩中推广科学技术。作为该项目的一部分,为7至16岁的儿童和青少年举办并开展了工作坊和化学营。这些工作坊根据参与者的年龄进行了调整,让他们以一种引人入胜的方式发现化学,熟悉这个领域,了解其对社会的用处,并了解化学所带来的职业机会。一些工作坊在洛桑联邦理工学院举办,其他的则在一辆名为“科学吸引我!”的巴士在瑞士法语区巡回宣传期间,在当地学校组织开展。
