Various institutions, such as scientific societies, the Academies of Sciences, the planetariums, etc., all helped to spread scientific knowledge. Create an informative magazine, in paper or digital format, to teach the students at your school about the scientific advances that took place and the techniques that were discovered during the Enlightenment. This will allow you to contribute to the sharing of knowledge and to science education. You will also be able to reflect on the role of science in the development of societies.
