Do you have ideas about how to present your research at SciFest but don’t know how to implement them? Are you interested in popular science and research information aimed at children and young people?
The SciFest science festival is a great opportunity for you to meet children, young people and adults curious about your research.
In this workshop you will learn how to engage your visitors. Experienced museum educators will be on hand to explain and walk you through the different steps in creating an interesting and target group-oriented activity for SciFest. Leif and Cecilia will share both successful and less successful examples, with the aim of giving you as an exhibitor practical and tangible tips on what to consider when planning and organising your activity. The workshop is free of charge and will be held in English.
Registration is required. Register by sending an email to Cecilia Ödman, cecilia.odman@gustavianum.uu.se
