    “Maripensario”: A Bridge Between Science and Outreach. Interactive Science Museum (MIC), Quito, Ecuador.

    The article documents the participatory design experience between the MIC and the Ikiam Regional Amazon University for the creation of the exhibition “Maripensario”, based on neurobiological research on Heliconiini butterflies. Through interviews and content analysis, it examines the process of translating scientific knowledge into an immersive, emotional, aesthetic, and educational proposal. The exhibition integrated art and science, proposing a situated and transformative model of science communication that strengthens the dialogue between academia and museums, and positions the MIC as a space for collective learning and critical reflection.
