Presentation


18 participants from ETH Zurich, Uni Zurich, Uni Bern, EPFL, Uni Geneva and the PSI discussed possible approaches in MUST for developing educational tools for ultrafast science.

A presentation was made on the Photonics Days, D-Phys, Uni Bern, where 180 children from gymnasium participated in physics experiments.
Prof Jean-Pierre Wolf, Uni Geneva, demonstrated the "air laser" and there was demonstration of an "orange laser" built in ULP, ETH Zurich. This laser emits in the blue, but is visible as orange. It is also safe, so has great potential to be laser used in exhibition.
Fritz Gassman introduced the teaching experience from the iLab, PSI.
Prof Andreas Müller presented research on the pedagological efficacy of scientific educational tools. Inputs from experts in science education influenced demonstrate the need to link our future education work with schools.

The science exhibition space PhysiScope (created from the work of NCCR MaNEP) was introduced by Prof Christoph Renner, Director MaNep. Experiments on superconductivity were demonstrated by Olivier Gaumer.
Prof Alexandre Alexakis organized a visit to ChimiScop (newly inaugurated 24th November 2011) where Ph.D. students demonstrated the experiments they use with childres.
