The Design Thinking is a proposal that began to develop theoretically at Stanford University (USA) in the 1970s and is based on the application of design techniques to meet specific needs of the product recipient (the public), without neglecting the objectives of the communicator, in this case the scientist in his role of communicator of science. In this way it is possible to design, for example, the complete graphicalscenographyof thematic spaces such as those proposed by the Institute of Technologies in Detection and Astroparticles for exhibitions in museums or science  and technology fairs, applying the DT tools. In this presentation we describe theexperienceofthe last six years of our group as part of "Tecnópolis", the mega exhibition of Science and Technology in Argentina and, on the other hand, it will show how to drive visitors at the new VisitorCenterat Pierre Auger Observatory in Malargüe, Argentina,the biggest facility on the world devoted to the detection and the study of ultra high energy cosmic rays.p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 120%; }
