In this series we go ‘out and about’ searching for examples of good science engagement practice. In this post Maxwell Hamilton, the new Science Museum Group Academy Programme Lead for Manchester, explores Manchester Museum.
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.
The organisational change series shares our experience and progress to date in applying and embedding a science capital approach across the Science Museum Group. This first post looks at how we began the process.
Today we launched the Science Museum Group Academy – the brand new home for all our science engagement training.
