In this interactive workshop, learners experience the laws of physics firsthand by embodying different degrees of gravitational forces. The workshop begins with a short mime theater piece about space travel. Participants then learn both mime and physics to decipher and better understand the natural laws that govern our world. In the workshop, the underlying pedagogical foundations will be highlighted together with some practical tips for class.

The workshop was devised as a collaboration between the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology and the Norwegian “SPACE-ME” project which aimed to increase children’s awareness of and engagement with space. It has since been conducted with school children, teachers, university students and artists in Norway, Israel, Iceland and Hungary.

Please note: A teaching background or interest in teaching is required.
