4 : At 2:30pm: Escape Game in the "Space Survivors" school. Following an accident, your team of astronauts is stranded in its space shuttle; you have one hour to repair your ship and return to Earth.

5 At 2:30 and 3:30 pm: Visit the Junia acoustic test basin. An exceptional and unique means of acoustic characterization and experimentation in water. Particularly used in defense research.

6 - At 4:15pm: "Exoplanets: the search for other planets" at the Villeneuve d'Ascq planetarium: In search of other earths" (departure by bus for those who wish). Around 400 years ago, mankind became aware that our planet was not unique. The idea then spread that if the Earth was a planet, other planets could also be lands, and that they too could be habitable, or even inhabited. Although hopes of finding one in our solar system soon faded, the quest continues today.

7 : 4pm: "On Mars" virtual reality experience with Dreamaway, Lille. "On Mars is a space exploration experience set in a futuristic universe.All your initiatives to expand on the colony are going well, until artificial intelligence decides otherwise... try to escape the deranged robots, search, save data...and defend yourself, if you can...". A fee is charged for this activity. Due to limited space, it is reserved for Junia students and graduates.

The event is open to all JUNIA graduates, students and staff, as well as to accompanying persons and interested outsiders.
