 “Espacio Ciencia” is an interactive museum of the Technological Laboratory of Uruguay (LATU), dedicated to Science and Technology.
Being a center for education-recreation and diffusion of science and technology, it allows any visitor, from a kindergarten child to an adult, to become an actor in a great technological adventure. Participation is the central axis of the proposal; imagination, creativity and critical spirit are fostered. We believe in training as a means of learning, in the understanding that experimentation is one of the best ways of acquiring knowledge. The tour enables to introduce or reaffirm scientific and technological concepts and principles within a novel environment with strategies different from the traditional ones. This informal environment not only awakes the visitor’s interest, but it also provides the possibility of making a decision, manipulating and acting.
We hope to have a museum that is the start point of a virtuous circle in the pedagogical process. Considering the exhibition and education, Espacio Ciencia is mainly committed to the development of an educative induction enriched by the exhibition. An interactive and ludic exhibition that optimizes and enriches the experience of learning, as well as that of creating meanings.
