Title: Representing the Universe: a hands on challenge
Authors: VARANO, STEFANIA 
RICCIARDI, SARA 
Issue Date: 2018
Volume: CAP 2018: Communicating Astronomy with the Public
Abstract: Astronomical images are representations of reality mediated by observations, meaning an instrument with its characterization (resolution, sensitivity, etc.). We propose a hands-on approach that takes advantage of the fact that many children's toys use image sampling as a gaming tool, in order to reproduce images at different resolutions. The most innovative concept of this laboratory is the introduction of hard science subjects through a playful approach, and the use of toys as research instruments. This play-based learning activity takes place in a highly inclusive and participative environment, leaving much space to personal intuition and autonomous discovery. The use of familiar objects and ludic equipment, low tech, prevents literacy barriers and gender issues and encourages immediate commitment and engagement.
