Beyond the classroom.
History as the origin story.
Somewhere under the Franco-Swiss border, protons complete 11,000 laps of a 27-kilometre ring every second. This eight-night journey walks students through Europe’s working science — physics, chemistry, aviation, automotive engineering — with history folded in wherever it explains the science, from Stuttgart’s car museums to Grasse’s centuries-old perfume houses. Every visit carries a written learning outcome your faculty approves in advance.
A guided visit to a working particle-physics laboratory outside Geneva.- A hands-on perfume-lab session building a three-note fragrance.
- A compare-and-contrast study of 140 years of automotive design at two museums.
- A guided tour of an active aircraft assembly line in Hamburg.
- A post-trip presentation students prepare and deliver to school assembly.
Arrival & Geneva Orientation
Arrive in Geneva, an orientation walk along the lake, and an early night before the anchor day ahead.
The Physics of Everything
A guided visit to the particle-physics laboratory, standing above the world’s largest machine and working through a scale exercise mapped onto the students’ own city.
Grasse & the Chemistry of Scent
Travel south to Provence for a working perfume-lab session, building a three-note fragrance and learning why the third attempt beats the first.
Stuttgart & the Benz Museum
The Benz museum from the 1886 Patent-Motorwagen onward, tracing the first car through 140 years of engineering decisions.
The Porsche Museum
A compare-and-contrast exercise in design philosophy at the Porsche museum, students debating the differences on the coach after.
Hamburg & the Scale of Flight
A guided tour of an Airbus factory, watching aircraft sections come together on an assembly line measured in football pitches.
Reflection & Departure
A closing session turning the week into outline slides for the post-trip school

How does the safety framework work across four cities?
The same system travels with the group: vetted hotels and transport partners in every city, staff-to-student ratios fixed in writing before booking, two 24×7 Picknic tour managers throughout, per-student travel and medical insurance, and a daily WhatsApp update to parents each evening.
