Design explains science

How can design explain science? Let’s try an experiment: gather twelve students from a design school, supervised by designers. Add a physicist and a long list scientific topics. Each student can choose any topic and treat it as he wants. The only constraint he/she has is to help the general public understand the science at play. “Design Explains Science” proposes twelve ways designers have imagined to popularize science. It’s up to you to discover them all !
