Abstract:

ScienzaPerTutti is a science communication project by INFN – the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics, aimed at the general public. Its core is the science outreach website scienzapertutti.infn.it, where all related public engagement activities are promoted and developed. Established in 2002, the website continuously evolves to keep pace with advancements in new media communication. The content is tailored for science enthusiasts of all levels. The primary objectives include disseminating content on general and modern physics and raising awareness about the importance of science and its applications. For 19 years, ScienzaPerTutti has been organizing annual school competitions, each focusing on a different scientific theme. The 2024 edition, centered on the Physics of cooking and titled "Physics is Served" [1] provides Middle and High School students with an opportunity to delve into the scientific principles underpinning culinary recipes, methods of food preparation and kitchen technologies. Participants were invited to showcase their research through presentations and videos. In this contribution we highlight the competition's format, impact and outcomes.
