About the Project
The “Science At Theatre” project promotes instructional methods that convey scientific topics, as outlined in the compulsory education curriculum, through drama techniques. This method was developed by the Department of Physics at the University of Rome “Tor Vergata” and the cultural association “IL Globetto.” It is the result of over a decade of experience in producing, organizing, and disseminating “Science Performances” aimed at middle school students. Through the SAT project, this method will be transferred to Italy, Greece, Turkey, Latvia, and the Netherlands.

Main Features and Outcomes of the SAT Method
Educating students towards “rational thinking” and “logical reasoning.”
Encouraging students’ creative attitudes and training them in teamwork.
Adding value to the teaching of scientific topics.
Improving students' learning outcomes related to scientific topics.
Training a new profile: “science educator-animator.”
Combining the enjoyable and technical elements of drama with an experiential, interactive, and collaborative approach.
Main Objectives
Increasing the learning and willingness to work on scientific topics among all students, especially those at risk (such as those who may drop out or fail).
Promoting the design of innovative and instructional tools and methods through the dissemination of experiments and trials.
Supporting the attainment of EU measurement and criteria by increasing enrollment rates in scientific studies at the tertiary education level.
Encouraging networking between schools and universities within the same country.
Updating the competencies of secondary school science teachers (chemistry and physics) by transferring the theoretical and practical principles of the SAT method.
Main Activities and Outputs
Development of educational modules for chemistry and physics curricula in Italy and Latvia.
Training workshops on the SAT model for secondary school teachers and educators in Italy and Latvia.
SAT model workshops for secondary school students in Italy and Latvia.
