Description
This study investigates the development and educational reconstruction of materials science concepts for informal learning environments. Conducted as part of the MaSCot project, the research focuses on creating engaging STEM activities that address socio-scientific issues, such as medical applications of materials science, while fostering collaboration between teachers and scientists. The results highlight the potential for informal learning spaces to bridge gaps in formal education, promoting scientific literacy and active student participation.
