Idea-Jam!

Let’s do it again! Share your wildest ideas. In 2019, Experimentarium saw the birth of Ecsite’s very first Idea-Jam session. Many wild ideas were shared, from Rhythmetariums to Flying Science Saucers and Second Childhood Museums. The participants’ feedback was clear: “Best session ever!”, “Brilliant format!”, “FAN-TAS-TIC!”.

The principle is simple: everyone gets one minute to share an idea that they’ve had for a science engagement initiative that hasn’t yet been realised. Let’s explore synergies through idea jamming… no idea is too wild for this session!

Rules of the session:

  • No ‘buts’ allowed - open minds only
  • No ’advertising’ allowed - only strange stuff that isn’t out there yet
  • One minute per idea followed by one minute of ‘Yes and’ from the audience to see where we can take the idea

After our first selection of speakers are done jamming with the audience, the floor is open to anyone. We’d love to hear both ambitious aspirations and fleeting brainfarts.
