Abstract
Field trips in science centers and museums are often isolated from the school curriculum, missing the opportunity to link fun to science learning. This research describes the efforts to enhance the students and teachers experience when visiting a science center or museum. Broadband technologies are used to support students´ activities before and after the visit to the science centre and mobile and wearable technologies are used to visualize invisible phenomena while the students visit the science center
