Description
“Café Científico” is a series of relaxed discussions about different topics of interest related to research done at the UC that tries to connect research and society. This outreach activity allows people to ask/discuss/comment with the researcher while engaging with cutting-edge researchers from University of Cantabria. To avoid the formalism that the university space offers it is done in an alternative theatre of the city, Café de las Artes every last Friday of the month during the academic year. Since its beginning the public has progressively increased and now there is a group of fans.
At the same time, we take on the same activity for children up to 16 years old: “Wake up with Science”. This activity is done at the university, to bring the kids to our environment. We introduce a subject for short time and then, let them ask any question that they have in mind about the subject. Previously, we send material to the teachers so they are prepared to have more knowledge about what they are about to hear.
With this contribution we want to present a successful outreach activity, with two versions, adapted for participants age.
