Abstract

The goal of this project is to develop content about physics concepts that are applicable to our daily lives, the project goes along with the Physics Mural, which presents these concepts in the form of art and is being made by the Physics Department. Adressing topics such as Newtons laws, electromagnetism, entanglement or relativity, to spark the interest of high school and elementary students to learn about physics and for the more general public to learn about how everyday technologies work. The synergy between the production of this content and the Physics Mural will guarantee a bigger impact on spreading knowledge
