The Science Basement (TSB) is a group of researchers-in-training sharing their excitement about research and science communication.

We are scientists enthusiastic about science writing, journalism, and outreach and want to show non-scientists why science matters and why it is fun! At the same time, we want to support each other on how to communicate our ideas more efficiently, discuss new ideas about research and knowledge generated by scientists, and broadcast that knowledge to a broader audience by using different forms of media (text, video, talk etc). We try to make complicated ideas simple and easily understandable.

What does sound look like? 🔊

For the final session of our 2025–2026 Youth Science Club season, we explored the science of sound by building and experimenting with a tonoscope, turning sound vibrations into visible patterns.
Our young scientists discovered how different pitches and frequencies can create unique shapes through salt, exploring sound waves, frequency, and resonance along the way 🤩

A big thank you to all our volunteers and Carlos Cabanzo for creating such an inspiring hands-on workshop, and to all our young participants, volunteers, and YEPP for making this season possible and a success! 🚀

A new stimulating YSC season is about to begin! Our Youth Science Club retarts next month. If you’re interested in taking part to the project, keep an eye on our updates and get in touch with us or the project leaders Matea Radesic and Emma Pirola to find out more and join the project!

We can’t wait to see where the next science adventure takes us! 🔬

Discovering the science hidden in everyday life 🧪🌈

As part of our monthly Youth Science Club session (The Science Basement-YEPP collaboration), we organised a hands-on workshop focused on pH indicators and the chemistry hidden in everyday life.

Using red cabbage, we created a natural pH indicator and tested different everyday liquids such as lemon juice, vinegar, soft drinks, water, detergent, and baking soda solutions. The kids explored how common household substances can be acidic, basic, or neutral, and how scientists can identify them using indicators. The color changes sparked a lot of excitement and curiosity, as we observed solutions turning pink, purple, blue, and green depending on their pH!

Beyond learning about acids and bases, the workshop encouraged the participants to think like scientists: making predictions, observing carefully, discussing results, and asking questions about the chemistry behind what they saw. It was wonderful to see how engaged and enthusiastic everyone was throughout the activities!

A huge thanks to all the volunteers for planning, organizing, creating, and leading the science session, especially to Sara Stebe and Matea Radesic for their work!
