SCIENCE STUDIO // HALIME HATUN AYTIMUR
The Space and Science concept of the Science Studio aims to provide a fun and interactive learning experience to children aged 7 and above, teenagers, adults, and space enthusiasts in order to educate and engage them. Activities include telescope sky observations, scientific experiments, interactive lessons, and expert talks. Participants will have the opportunity to observe planets, stars, and other celestial bodies using high-resolution telescopes. Additionally, they will be able to explore planets and experience simulations of space missions through virtual reality (VR) devices. Activities such as scientific experiments and light spectrum analyses will help participants understand the physical properties of space and fundamental scientific principles.
Another notable feature of the Science Studio is its laboratory environment. Located on the ground floor, this laboratory provides participants with an area where they can conduct scientific experiments and apply theoretical knowledge in practice. Various experiments can be carried out in the laboratory, such as microscopic examination, observation of chemical reactions, or plasma experiments. This will allow participants to learn and apply scientific methods during laboratory work.
Interactive lessons will cover various scientific fields and provide participants with in-depth knowledge about science. In expert talks, professionals in the field will provide information about different scientific fields through organized events. The venue will be decorated with science and planet posters to create an inspiring environment. LED lighting will create starry night effects, and comfortable seating areas will be provided for participants. The technological infrastructure will include high-resolution telescopes, VR devices, powerful computers, and suitable lighting and sound systems. Education plans will include various learning experiences such as weekly workshops, outdoor observation activities, and VR simulation days. Collaboration with local schools, universities, and media will be established to promote and facilitate participation. Financing will be provided through municipal grants, educational institutions, and private sponsors to cover the costs of venue, equipment, decoration, staff, and marketing. Overall, the Space and Science concept of the Science Studio aims to increase interest in space and science by providing comprehensive and enjoyable learning experiences to all participants, thereby significantly increasing awareness in the fields of science and astronomy.
