The Ferrara of Sciences project aims to make scientific research more accessible using physical models, videos, and augmented reality. Its goal is to simplify complex topics. The project focuses on five key areas: Environment, Energy, Particles, Architecture, and Cultural Astronomy, promoting both interdisciplinarity and inclusion. The first initiative centers on the Environment. It includes a video that tells the story of meteorology in Ferrara, from the founding of the Meteorological Observatory at Palazzo Paradiso in 1878 to its later move to the Estense Castle. Alongside this, a tactile device was developed to explain meteorological concepts. It is designed for use by sighted, visually impaired, and blind individuals alike. Created by an interdisciplinary team of physicists and architects, the exhibit will be featured in laboratory activities and preserved in the Instrumentaria Collection of Physical Sciences at the Department of Physics and Earth Sciences at the University of Ferrara.
Il progetto Ferrara delle Scienze si propone di divulgare la ricerca scientifica con modelli fisici, video e realtà aumentata, per facilitare l’accesso ad argomenti complessi. Focalizzato su cinque ambiti – Ambiente, Energia, Particelle, Architettura, Astronomia Culturale – promuove l’interdisciplinarità e l’inclusione. La prima azione sviluppata riguarda il settore dell’Ambiente grazie ad un video che racconta la storia della meteorologia ferrarese, la nascita dell’Osservatorio Meteorologico a Palazzo Paradiso nel 1878 e il suo successivo spostamento nel Castello Estense. Nell’ambito di questa stessa tematica è stato poi sviluppato un dispositivo tattile, composto di più elementi, per la comunicazione di nozioni relative alla meteorologia, fruibile da persone vedenti, ipovedenti e non vedenti. Questo exhibit, messo a punto da un team interdisciplinare composto da fisici e architetti, sarà utilizzato nelle attività laboratoriali e conservato nella Collezione Instrumentaria delle Scienze Fisiche del Dipartimento di Fisica e Scienze della Terra dell’Università di Ferrara.

Abstract
The Ferrara of Sciences project aims to make scientific research more accessible using physical models, videos, and augmented reality. Its goal is to simplify complex topics. The project focuses on five key areas: Environment, Energy, Particles, Architecture, and Cultural Astronomy, promoting both interdisciplinarity and inclusion. The first initiative centers on the Environment. It includes a video that tells the story of meteorology in Ferrara, from the founding of the Meteorological Observatory at Palazzo Paradiso in 1878 to its later move to the Estense Castle. Alongside this, a tactile device was developed to explain meteorological concepts. It is designed for use by sighted, visually impaired, and blind individuals alike. Created by an interdisciplinary team of physicists and architects, the exhibit will be featured in laboratory activities and preserved in the Instrumentaria Collection of Physical Sciences at the Department of Physics and Earth Sciences at the University of Ferrara.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
