Science education, Art, Educational exhibitionAbstract
One of the main barriers facing science education is the perceived lack of connection of science teaching with students' real life or areas of interest. This is more of a challenge for non-scientists. Consequently, this can lead to the experience of a feeling of frustration and disinterest towards these subjects. The Tell-Us project is committed to making science more accessible, relevant, and stimulating for everyone, regardless of previous academic background. Through the synergy between art and science, the viewer is offered an alternative perspective that can aid the understanding of complex scientific concepts. Conceived as a didactic art exhibition, Tell-Us uses powerful visual representations to bring the viewer closer to topics related to geology, astronomy, meteorology, and astrophysics. The result is a project that shows the capacity of art to make science more attractive and understandable for non-scientists. Simultaneously, it enriches general scientific understanding by offering the possibility of new perspectives and methods for exploring and communicating scientific ideas.
