Abstract

In this project, we will realize a series of educational activities on the topic of acoustic and electromagnetic waves, based on (a) setting up experiments (science kit) with a script, and (b) art as a means of communicating science (murals, comics and plays). With a special attention to inclusion, these activities will be developed at school, where the scripts will be implemented and tested, but also at the university, where we will welcome students for visits of the murals and workshops, and finally digitally, in partnership with the co.educa platform. With the aim of promoting scientific literacy through non-traditional forms of teaching, the project aims to awaken more curiosity for science, and scientific vocations. (AU)
