During this course we learned how to present our project in different formats. In 5 and 1 minutes, and in 30 seconds. This is a very interesting way to summarise our ideas and to be able to present them clearly to an audience that knows nothing about them.

The permanent exhibition Space and Time: Stories from the Neuchâtel Observatory wants to offer the public a dive into the origins of time measurement in the Neuchâtel area over the last 150 years.
In an Art Nouveau style building, visitors will be able to discover how the industrial era accelerated the making of time, how the observation of the movement of stars and then atoms made it possible to make ever more precise measurements, to arrive at atomic clocks with a margin of error of one second every 30 million years!
To allow the visitor to understand this complex subject, images, videos, objects and texts from other fields such as art, philosophy and science will be on display. For example: the painting of Dali’s soft watches or the first image of a black hole.
