The newsroom
The interactive exhibition recreates a TV newsroom showing montages on five scientific sectors: information technology, biotechnology, engineering, health and environment.
The television report
- You take your place at one of the fifteen computer stations and start working alone or in a team (up to four people).
- A virtual news editor offers five choices of subjects: they are all scientific or technical issues involving social choices and affecting young people.
- You make your choice then compile data from a variety of sources: news reports, interviews with experts, popular opinions…
- The news editor invites you to discuss and think about the subject and form your own opinion; you then draw up your position statement and film it.
- It’s time for editing: you choose and edit your video clips.
- You record the introduction to your report and view the results.
- Throughout the editing process, you can make changes.
- If you approve the finished product, you record the conclusion.
- After completion, your report could be chosen at random and shown on the room’s big screen, like a “special news flash”.
- If you wish to keep a copy of your report, you can enter your e-mail address so that you can download the report at home.
Four experiences in one!
- You learn about the work of science reporters;
- You master the technology they use;
- You develop critical thinking as a citizen;
- You think about the impact of science and technology on your everyday life.
