Description
For semester 6, students will have the choice between two types of student projects: (1) setting up a "Scientific Partners for the Classroom" (ASTEP) program or (2) developing a protocol for Data Acquisition and Processing (DAP). For the ASTEP project, students will carry out a scientific outreach project with kindergarten or elementary school classes in the Hérault region (scientific themes defined by partner schools). Students will then have to develop one or more experiments to be carried out with the classes, collect data with the students, and disseminate scientific concepts to the students concerned. For the ATD project, students will have to propose a data acquisition protocol to answer a scientific question of their choice. This protocol may be carried out in the field, in the classroom, or consist of a meta-analysis.
