Abstract: The web conference entitled “Science Fiction and Science Clubs: Scientific Dissemination beyond the Classroom” will be taught by Prof. Dr. Luís Paulo de Carvalho Piassi, starting at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 12, 2024, and will be simultaneously broadcast on the “Debate Consciência” YouTube channel, where it will be recorded after the event. This web conference will discuss how science clubs, combined with science fiction, can function as fundamental spaces for extracurricular scientific dissemination, promoting student protagonism. Exploring literary, audiovisual and other works, students develop practical projects, create prototypes and content, and debate scientific and ethical issues that permeate these narratives. Based on readings and films, students are encouraged to produce their own stories, carry out experiments based on science fiction concepts, and engage in discussions about the social and philosophical impact of science. The focus is on valuing students' autonomy, stimulating creativity and critical thinking, in addition to promoting enriching debates about science and society.
