Espaço Interativo de Ciências da Vida

Abstract

This presentation makes a reflection on the conceptual and propositional processes that led to the implementation of the Interactive Space for Life Sciences of the UFMG Museum of Natural History and Botanical Garden. The space is the result of the original proposal to create an interactive museum which conceptual axis is man and his health. In each of its eight rooms, different themes related to human structure and its function are approached where digital interactive experiments associated with conventional anatomical models are made available to the public. The ultimate goal is to foster knowledge and interest in science using digital mechanisms, matching the museum proposal with the expectations of a public attuned to these technologies.
