How can we build a ‘community of good practice’? This March we launched the Manchester hub of the Science Museum Group Academy, and announced our ‘Science Capital in Practice’ programme, in collaboration with the UK Association for Science and Discovery Centres (ASDC).
Our engagement reflection points put the audience at the heart of what we do, helping us influence and shape their engagement with, and attitudes towards, science.
Part of our organisational change series, this post looks at the suite of courses and resources we developed to help communicate the science capital research and embed a science capital approach across our group of museums.
In part 4 of our mini-series, Josh Blair, Digital Product Manager at Science Museum Group, and Ben Templeton, Creative Director at game studio Thought Den, discuss the project highs and lows now it has finally launched.
In part 3 of this mini-series, design studio Thought Den show how they responded to an ambitious brief from the Science Museum Group.

Using digital storytelling to help children reflect on their relationship with STEM. Part 2…
In part 2 of this mini series we look at how we took the idea of a chat-based experience and developed it further to create our brief for a science capital-informed narrative driven game.
What we’ve learned about publishing our learning resources online.
To celebrate International Science Centre and Science Museum day we are launching our new animation about science capital and the informal science sector.
The Enterprising Science research team at University College London and Kings College London have produced a pack of resources based on their research to help teachers engage students with science.
See the latest Enterprising Science project video animation about a science capital teaching approach, broadening what counts in the science classroom and challenging science stereotypes.

Our Science Museum Group vision is for ‘a society that celebrates science, technology and engineering and their impact on our lives, now and in the future’. So why is this such an important cause?
