How would you like to become a science reporter, create an original news report on a topical subject and share your ideas?

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 three 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 arrange 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.
