Tyler August, MSc HANDS-ON ASTROPHYSICS
Story animals ? Yes, BUT we are tool users first and last.
We think in stories. We learn with our hands.
Play = hands on learning
Play = hands on learning
Wait. What? PLAY ASTROPHYSICS? Madness!
1 ST GEN: LOOK. READ. SNORE.
2 ND GEN: PUSH BUTTONS.
3 RD GEN: TOUCH. FEEL. PLAY.
A ction “Try this!” What our human is going to do. C onfirmation What they just saw happen. E xplanation Why it happened, and the science behind it.
Gravity Well Can teach: • Kepler’s Laws • Inverse-square law • General Relativity – Gravitational Lensing

Tactile wins >>2x interactions
Classical Analogies (Image credit Dr Martin Archer, St Mary’s College London)
But I don’t have a Science Center!
Pop-up exhibits! Pop-up anywhere. • On campus? • Public Libraries? • Parks? • Malls?
Pocket Science (noun) a small hand-held science demo, typically able to fit into one’s pocket.
Go past prose. Go past graphics. Give them play, and they will learn.
