Changwon Science Experience Center: Experiencing Physics and Chemistry Principles through Media Art and Games

There is a space where one can directly experience scientific principles indoors to avoid the sweltering weather. According to a video from the Culture Portal, the Changwon Science Experience Center is an experiential exhibition hall where anyone, regardless of age or gender, can learn scientific principles through hands-on experience beyond simple viewing.

Media Art and Racing Games in the Basic Science Hall

In the Basic Science Hall, the first course of the exhibition hall, the principles of physics, chemistry, and earth science can be encountered in various ways. In the field of earth science, media art themed around volcanoes is prepared. By visually implementing the appearance of a volcano using video and space, it is configured so that the principles of volcanoes can be examined more intuitively than through text descriptions.

In the chemistry field, it is possible to directly select and combine elements within the periodic table. Visitors can interestingly encounter chemical principles by checking through quizzes what substances are created when different elements are combined. In the case of the physics field, Newton's law of inertia has been implemented in the form of a racing game. It is structured so that participants can naturally acquire the principle of inertia through the process of directly controlling and moving.

AI Technology and Energy Experience in the Advanced Science Hall

In the Advanced Science Hall, exhibitions reflecting the trends of modern science and technology continue. In the energy science corner, various energy technologies such as wind power and hydrogen energy can be experienced, and it also features interactive experiential facilities where the concept of carbon neutrality can be enjoyed like a game. Experiences utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology also draw attention. Visitors can experience artificial intelligence from various angles, such as engaging in direct competitions with AI or listening to music generated by AI.

In the life science corner, biological phenomena can be observed through microscopes and human body models. In particular, a media art experience is prepared where endangered species appear when a cube is solved. After viewing the exhibition, science can be enjoyed three-dimensionally through the planetarium, where space videos are viewed through a dome screen, and the 4D Special Screening Theater, where even the movement of magnets can be felt according to the movement of the video.
