What skills do you need to become a robotic personality architect? Which programming languages will help you communicate with tomorrow’s machines? How much does an astrobiologist earn? What should you study to become a UX designer, a circular energy engineer or a science communicator?
It’s not easy to imagine your future when most of tomorrow’s jobs don’t even exist yet!
Roofscaper? Rewilding Consultant? Ergolinguist? Never heard of them? Welcome to the world of future careers!
In YOU TOMORROW, discover the STEAM skills (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) behind these emerging professions and find the one that suits you best.
4 Interactive Zones to Test Your STEAM Skills
The exhibition is organised into four unique themed zones designed to help you develop the essential human skills (soft skills) needed for these exciting and often little-known careers.
Each zone features around twenty professions, original hands-on installations and inspiring video testimonies.
Zone 1
Work together: build your collaboration skills
Teamwork is at the heart of every great achievement. From the creation of the World Wide Web to groundbreaking scientific discoveries, we change the world by combining our talents.
Challenges
Collaborate to build a 3D architectural model
Work together to create a computer coding sequence

A participatory exhibition
Innovations in science, technology, engineering and mathematics are transforming the world of work. Some jobs disappear, others evolve, and entirely new careers emerge every year.
YOU TOMORROW was co-created with teenagers, just like you, to answer the questions you have about your future.
Through interactive experiences, entertaining interviews and inspiring career stories, you’ll discover a vibrant landscape of exciting professions waiting for your talents.
A Sustainable Exhibition
True to the spirit of STEAM and circular engineering, this exhibition has been created using reclaimed materials from the former METAmorphoses exhibition as well as repurposed office furniture.
A great example of design, creativity and reuse working together to build a greener future.
