Allez les rouges!
In October 2024 some of the FoTB team were fortunate enough to be able to take some of our activities on the road to Paris to make the project officially international! We were invited to run some of our roadshow activities at university Ecole Normale Superiere’s annual “Fête de la Science” (science festival) in a session entitled “Dans La Tete D’Mbappe” (Inside the head of Mbappe). We teased the event and tried to spread the word by sharing somephotos of the FoTB team and kit at iconic landmarks around Paris and we were kept very busy at the science festival itself, as ~1500 people come to explore arange of different science activities on the afternoon of Sunday 13th October. Itwas great to be visited by adults, families and young people alike - all interested in getting to know more about what makes the brain of footballers, like Kylian Mbappe, tick. As ever the penalty kick with prism goggles task was especially popular, while there was keen interest in the snap card game, while and Holly was able to engage people in what the brain looks like and how it develops across the lifespan.
