Projects

Research topics are complex and sometimes abstract. They often require a lot of background knowledge in order to be understood. The aim of the exhibition is to reduce inhibitions, arouse curiosity about science and promote confidence in science. Visitors can experience the exhibition in two different ways, depending on their preference: on the one hand by actively participating in the research challenge, and on the other by freely exploring the six themed islands (curiosity, research, teamwork, perseverance, model, precision). The main element of the exhibition is a Science Mystery Storage Machine, which challenges visitors with exciting puzzles at random. The research challenges cover a wide range of subjects and are designed for various target groups at different levels. The focus is on communicating the process of gaining scientific knowledge, which consists of various steps (e.g. observation, experiment), requires various skills (e.g. creativity, precision) and triggers a variety of emotions (e.g. joy, frustration). At the end of the exhibition, visitors have the opportunity to reflect on their experiences in a reflection area and create a connection to everyday life.
