The Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology offers SkaperLab for children and young people aged 12 to 16. It is completely free to participate, and we will serve a toast.
We use equipment from the museum and science center to test and experiment with science in focus. Every Thursday there will be a different program, and necessary training will be provided during the sessions.
If you have been offered a place, you will receive a confirmation email starting on Monday of the current week. If you register after Monday and there are still places available, confirmation will be sent via email on an ongoing basis. See answers to frequently asked questions below.
Yes. There are 20 places at SkaperLab, and all participants must register in advance.
Registration opens two weeks before the relevant SkaperLab event and closes the day before the event.
If all places are filled, a waiting list will be created. If places become available, these will be offered to people on the waiting list.
If you have registered but are unable to attend, please let us know at least the day before the event. Your spot may then be offered to someone on the waiting list.
If you fail to attend twice within a two-month period, you will lose the opportunity to attend SkaperLab for the next two months.
