Description
Design for Physics is a joint project between a physics department and a design institute, aiming at engaging students that feel uncomfortable with scientific disciplines in the exploration of science. Students at IED were asked to design, produce and test low cost and easy to make apparatus for physics experiments, to be used in schools for teaching. We report about the project organisation, results and about the studies we conducted observing the students. We also tested the resulting products with a group of physics teachers, whose impressions are reported. Prototypes were exposed at important fairs, attracting a lot of interest.
