Experimentarium TM, the interactive physics laboratory near the Hydraulic Engineering Building (Spl. Spiru Haret, the Roses Park), celebrates the 10th anniversary since its official inauguration on April 21st, 2021. To mark the event, Politehnica University Timisoara launches the contest “With UPT, you experiment and win!”, open to all students in Romania, and through which science enthusiasts can win a laptop, a tablet or a smartphone.

The competition, which takes place between April 22 and May 21, 2021, is open to students from any pre-university education institution in Romania and takes place on the Facebook page of the university, where students must correctly identify, by commenting on the post, at least three of the 10 experiments presented in the images or the physical phenomenon they refer to, to tag 3 colleagues, friends, or students in the comment, to publicly share the contest post and to like the Facebook page of Politehnica University Timișoara.

If there are several students who will give the correct answers, winners will be chosen through a random drawing. The contest will end on Friday, May 21, 2021, at 12:00, with the live draw of the winners.

Housed in a generous space of over 800 square meters, provided by Politehnica University Timisoara, Experimentarium TM offers all those interested over 350 various experiments, which illustrate the main phenomena and laws of physics, but do not repeat experiments described in textbooks. Experiments have the ability to draw the attention and interest of visitors, regardless of their age, due to the interactive way in which they are presented, the surprises they include, the apparent magic and the logical contradictions that accompany them.

The activity in the center promotes a culture of experimentation and collaboration, arouses curiosity, increases understanding and stimulates new ideas. Through experimentation, participants discover and become aware of physical phenomena and laws.

The newest project within Experimentarium TM is Experimentarium NON-STOP. Created to offer visitors the opportunity to perform experiments outside the visiting hours, without the need for specialized assistance, Experimentarium NON-STOP offers, at first, a series of 9 interactive physics experiments. The 9 experiments within this project are positioned in the windows of the Experimentarium building, Spl. Spiru Haret no. 1A. They can be seen and operated from outside the building, one by one, the only tool needed to perform these experiments being a laser pointer.

After 9 years of interactive activity, with groups of visitors from schools and universities, from the country and from most European countries, totaling about 40,000 visitors, in the last year the activity took place in small groups, with physical distancing, and online. Now, in compliance with the strict public health requirements, the activity is carried out exclusively online, on the Experimentarium TM Facebook page.
