Abstract

En 中文
This paper describes the development and application of an outreach workshop on shape memory material for 10- to 14-year old children. The aim is not only to demonstrate the extraordinary capabilities of shape memory and superelastic materials but also more specifically to have the children design their own shape memory part and have fun during doing so. In other words, to take the step from the simple demonstration of a scientific phenomenon to the full participation in the development of a shape design. Moreover, by allowing them to take home their own design, they can still enjoy and even demonstrate the magic of the shape memory to their friends and family in the weeks and months to come.
