An interdisciplinary research field transformed into an intermedial science exploration programme: how to explore neurotronics research and development in a school student laboratory programme

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This work presents the development and implementation of an interdisciplinary and intermedial science outreach programme designed for school students. The programme integrates biological systems and technological advancements to provide students with hands-on laboratory experiences and immersive media, including virtual reality videos and augmented reality posters. Through a co-creation process involving scientists and educators, the programme aims to enhance students understanding of bio-inspired information pathways and neurogenesis. Preliminary evaluations indicate high engagement and educational value, suggesting that such interdisciplinary approaches can significantly enrich science education. Graphical abstract
