Description

The “Gravitas” project is a multidisciplinary outreach and educational program devoted to high school students (17-19 years old) that mixes contemporary physics and philosophy of science. Coordinated by the Cagliari Section of the National Institute of Nuclear Physics, in Italy, “Gravitas” offers an informal learning environment where students learn about contemporary physics, philosophy, and the history of science. They also create material such as posts to foster their learning. In 2022, 250 students from 16 Sardinian high schools attended the project. We present it and discuss its possible multidisciplinary outcomes and the implementation of informal learning strategies in high schools.
