Their main mission is to make science accessible and encourage excitement of discovery. They outstand from \u201cclassical science teaching \u201c in school because they imply direct curiosity and interaction with the public which involves its whole body through the experience [2].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>A few great Science Centers\u00a0that I expore in further details :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ars Electronica<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Art Electronica Center is a Science Center based in Linz and founded in 1979.
