We analyze the experience of five groups of teenagers in the exhibition about the physics of sports, aiming to understand how they interact with the explainers, the exhibition and with each other, as well as the content of their conversations during the visit. The groups' routes were recorded with a subjective camera and analyzed using a research protocol. In the analysis, we observed that the interaction of visitors with the explainers prevailed over the interaction of visitors with each other, especially in conversations focused on scientific issues, associations with previous experiences and conversations about the design and use of exhibition objects. The studies indicate that the exhibition managed to engage teenagers around scientific issues and the choice of the theme “sports” seems to have helped in this regard. The study provides subsidies for reflection on the ways of mediating science exhibitions and challenges to be explored in future studies and in training for explainers. We expect this study to be an important step in fostering the culture of adolescents in attending scientific-cultural spaces, since it seeks to understand interests, conversations, ways of interacting.
