| Sumario: | This work present the Science Trail, a project which consists of a circuit of 13 interactive science experiments installed at Federal Instituteof Rio de Janeiro Volta Redonda campus (IFRJ-CVoR), located in the south of Rio de Janeiro State and around 100 km from capital.The experiments explore various areas of physics, including mechanics, optics, electricity, acoustics, etc. All facilities are accessible towheelchair users and have a totem with a brief description in portuguese and braille. In addition, the Science Trail will feature guidedtours for students in schools in the region and for the general public. The facilities will also serve as a non-formal education space,which will complement the academic training of the IFRJ-CVoR’s undergraduate students . We believe that this permanent exhibition,integrated with the campus, is capable to awaken and foment interest in science among students and also in the visiting public. Thefacilities were committed in March 2021 and we are waiting for the end of the pandemic to open, when it will then be possible toassess the impact of this action on training and on arousing interest in science on students and the general public. |
