In the “Science Communication Comics” project, students learn to present chemical concepts creatively and clearly through comics. In doing so, they deepen their subject knowledge, improve their research and communication skills and develop their creativity – from topic selection and storyboards design to presenting their finished comics.

The “Science Communication Comics” project breaks down the common misconception that scientific work and creative design exist in separate worlds. It demonstrates how science and storytelling can work together productively.
Students dive deep into chemical concepts, transforming them into accesible and angaging comics while becoming knowledge communicators in the process. The entire juorney - from research to condensing content to visual design - not only strengthens scientific understanding but also develops the ability to explain complex topics clearly. This represents high-level science communication with an approachable format.
