The ‹Biophilia› education-project interactively and playfully conveys knowledge about music, nature and science to children from 10-12 years. The workshop is based on Björk’s ‹Biophilia›-app, which is just one puzzle piece in her multidisciplinary ‹Biophilia›-project, and the result of an exemplary, very dynamic cooperation between the educational system, cultural institutions, and scientific research institutions. Through the use of iPads children are introduced to the world of the natural sciences in a fascinating manner, and are enabled to create digital compositions based on scientific phenomena.
The project was originally developed by Björk Guðmundsdóttir, the city of Reykjavík, and the University of Iceland, and will be carried out for the first time outside of the Nordic countries.
