Pop-up Science Stands

• Pop-up science stands will be set-up in public spaces such as shopping malls, city squares, parks, festivals, etc. (to be chosen by third parties). These stands will have a creative and striking design and will be filled with activities on a selected topic. In addition to all the communication vehicles produced by the consortium, the stands will be equipped with some experiments, products and demonstrations. Kits for each selected topic could be developed. Each kit might be composed of 3 kinds of activities: experiences, small objects to “tease” the public’s curiosity and a collection of topics to be discussed. Passers-by will be able to engage with short 10-20-minute experiences where their curiosity will be sparked. The stand will be given a catchy name and its travels around Europe will be followed and disseminated through social media. Ecsite will work with designers to produce it and The Pavilion will be involved in designing the kits and activities to be used at the stand.
