Abstract:
Science learning is for everyone but promoting it for all can be a challenge. Annually, a science experiment exhibit is conducted by a student organization in Gordon College called-the Interactive Organization of Natural Sciences (IONS). The annual experiment exhibit promotes learning scientific concept through hands-on and minds-on experimentation. This study aimed to determine the attendees' perception and learning, engagement and enjoyment, and behavioral intention as they visit the hands-on-minds-on IONS Science Experiment Exhibit. Study revealed that significant differences were observed across different age groups and academic programs, particularly in perception and learning and engagement and enjoyment, suggesting variations in attendees' experiences based on demographic factors. Regularly updating the exhibit's content based on visitor feedback and emerging scientific trends to maintain relevance and interest.
