CoM_n_Play-Science – LEARNING SCIENCE THE FUN & CREATIVE WAY

Beyond the boundaries of traditional science education and outside the confines of classrooms, young Europeans today are increasingly engaging in coding activities. In fact, this surge in informal science learning presents a challenge for understanding its impact and harnessing its potential. In this context, the EU-funded CoM’n’Play-Science project will explore this paradigm shift. It will investigate intentional and unintentional instances of informal science learning, and examine the diverse practices that engage participants in immersive research. By surveying, observing, and actively involving participants, the project delves into the attitudes, values, and dispositions young learners develop towards science, scientists, and science-related information in their everyday lives. Overall, the project aims to provide practical guidance for practitioners and inform policymaking decisions.
