Creativity as pathway into Physics for Primary Schools — •Michael Hoch and Markus Klute — KIT, Karlsruhe, Germany

Science and art at school at CERN is a pilot program exploring how artistic creativity can make science more engaging for primary school pupils. Building on Art@CMS and the ORIGINS initiative, it combines simple physics explorations with creative activities that help children aged 8*10 intuitively grasp scientific ideas.

Tested in Karlsruhe and developed with two local schools in the Geneva region, the program provides practical tools for teachers and introduces pupils to broader STEM topics. The strong response from schools, families, and local communities - highlighted by exhibitions and CERN visits - shows the program’s motivational impact. The pilot also demonstrates clear scalability and adaptability, offering a promising model for inspiring young learners through science and art.
