abstract = {During the 23rd Andalusian Science Week at the University of Granada, we conducted an outreach
activity titled Observing liquid crystals through a liquid crystal, aligning closely with our research
project Unveiling the boundaries of biaxial nematics for energy-efficient displays UNBOUND. This
initiative, targeting high school students, aimed to disseminate knowledge about liquid crystals
and their practical applications, providing a realistic glimpse into scientific research. The activity
consisted of an educational presentation and interactive experiments, with the latter proving
particularly effective in engaging the students. This highlights the significance of interactive and
engaging methods in effectively communicating scientific concepts to an audience of no-experts.
Overall, the activity received positive feedback, and we plan to continue refining and implementing
this format in upcoming public outreach events.},
