🚀✨ BIG NEWS ALERT! ✨🚀
We are beyond thrilled to share that Take Off, the Science Challenge Show produced by Free Lens, has just been awarded Best Young Audience Program at the Science & Media Awards! 🏆🌍 Competing with top programs from the UK, USA, Austria, and Italy, this international recognition is a true testament to the hard work, creativity, and passion poured into this project by our incredible team. 💥🎉
With the support of Luxembourg National Research Fund - FNR and André Losch Fondation, Take Off has captivated audiences, bringing science to life through 13 epic episodes, 40+ jaw-dropping challenges, and an impressive 150+ contestants! The final 12 participants give it their all in an intense battle for the €10,000 prize, pushing their skills in teamwork, creativity, and resilience to new heights. 🔬💡
Our 600 sq/m studio, specially designed for the show and featuring over 20 high-definition cameras, is a true technical marvel. Every pulse-pounding second, each experiment, and every triumph and twist is captured in stunning detail, making this Luxembourg's largest TV production ever! 🎥🌟
