SCIENCE-SLAM? WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE?
A science slam is a short scientific presentation tournament in which the "slammer" presents a scientific topic of his/her choice to an audience within 10 minutes. The subsequent evaluation is also carried out by the audience. In addition to the scientific content, the comprehensibility and above all the entertainment value of the presentation are also assessed.
IS THERE AN EXAMPLE?
