Description
UDCiencia is a multidisciplinary group composed by professors and students from different scientific branches, focused on educational innovation and scientific outreach. Our aim is to create appealing materials and methodologies for teaching physics (and other sciences) to undergraduates, but also to students from schools, high schools, or special education centres. Our approach is based on the Serving-Learning (SL) philosophy: professors provide mentoring to undergraduates, and they develop multidisciplinary hands-on workshops to address specific topics. We present here “Under Pressure”, our recent workshop for exploring the concept of pressure and the reasons behind the morphology of some (abyssal) marine species.
