Côté sciences :
A territorial resource center in the field of scientific and technical culture!

Each year, the program develops activities for schools on the right bank of Bordeaux. These include actions carried out during school time in partnership with the DSDEN de la Gironde, social centres, media libraries, leisure centres, companies, and associations.

Côté Sciences also organizes and participates in key local events throughout the year, such as Science festivals, neighbourhood events, and Science on Tuesdays.

Côté Sciences develops resources around solid themes related to the local territory and the structuring project of the Parc des Coteaux: awareness of natural spaces in peri-urban areas and the notions of sustainable development. At the same time, Côté Sciences also acts as a relay for other resources developed by Cap Sciences in Science and technology.

Côté Sciences is a local program located in a 400 m² space in the Bordeaux suburb of Floirac.

Since September 2009, the program has been extended to the Grand Projet de Villes territory, made up of the four municipalities of Floirac, Cenon, Lormont, and Bassens.

Thanks to its twin, Côté sciences Air&Espace, newly born in Mérignac and more focused on the world of aeronautics and space, the Côté sciences now work together by crossing their actions and their programming.

Still in connection with Hangar 20 on the quays, the whole Cap Sciences team participates in the Côté sciences programmes, also ensuring the link with national and European professional networks of scientific and technical culture.
