Many countries are committed to the development of innovative advanced science and technology, but at the same time, there needs to be a promotion of public awareness with regards to the understanding and recognition of the technology so as to gain acceptance. However, the scientists involved may not have suitable opportunities to engage with the public directly, and this is where the National Science and Technology Museum may act as a facilitator, translating the scientific jargon into language that the general public can comprehend.
This research used the “artificial blood” exhibit at the National Science and Technology Museum as an example for this process. The exhibit translated the research results on nano diamonds from professor Chia-Liang Cheng's group at National Dong Hwa University. The core information translated was focused on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM); views, impression and understanding of visitors were obtained through interviews. The results showed that visitors have a better understanding of the properties and functions of hemoglobin after viewing the exhibit. Most of the adults recognize and understand the concept of artificial blood and its value; elementary school students had some difficulties understanding the process and techniques involved in the manufacture of artificial blood, even though the information was simplified. With respect to the holistic view of the exhibit from the visitors, it can be categorized as one of the four areas: association with current affairs, inspiring curiosity, expectation on its practical use, and association with daily life experience. Recommendations are made for any information translation of advanced science and technology, regardless of field, into exhibits accessible to the general public in the future. |
