Have Fun with Science, Love Science and Live Science

Objective

The “FuLL-Science (have fun with science, love science, and live science)” Project aims at ensuring the understanding of science and technology by the society offering innovative scientific and technological learning opportunities such as seminars, demonstrations, panels, competitions etc. from elementary education level to Adult education level as well as the people who drop out education. The FuLL-Science project is confident to reach this aim by promoting the following actions: The first approach (Have fun with science) is to help participants “have fun” with science. We plan to organize various activities, such as games, animations, entertainments, workshops, plays, theatres, music, dance, etc. that meet the participants in all ages with the amusement in science. We want to illustrate how science is enjoyable by a mix between science and art, theatre, and literature. The second approach (Love science) is to introduce the participants with the “love” part of the science, which we conceive as how scientists fell in love with science, and thanks to this love how they become productive in their respective fields and how scientists are ordinary people who are also have hobbies. That is, we would like to help the participants to recognize the scientists and their work by presenting them opportunities to meet with scientists and their studies. The third approach (Live science) is to assist the participants be acquainted with how they “live” science in their daily life. For example, we will present them opportunities to see how science is in our life, to experience the science in daily life by hands-on and minds-on activities, and to shape their view of science as a way of knowing. The participants will also realize the scientific developments in various fields by meeting and discussing with scientists. This action provides strong scientist guidance to assist in removing possible obstacles and to build up confidence that the Scientists are regular people like us.
