The idea-jam session lets you open your mind as far as possible and allows you to come up with wild concepts that challenge what we think is possible within the field of science engagement. The idea-jam session will reopen its doors this year for more new crazy concepts and we can’t wait to hear yours! The principle is simple: everyone has one minute to share an idea they’ve had for a science engagement initiative that hasn’t yet been accomplished. There are four rules:

1) No ‘buts’ allowed - open minds only;

2) No ’advertising’ allowed - only stuff that isn’t out there yet;

3) One minute per idea…;

4) … followed by one minute of ‘yes and’ from the audience to elaborate on the idea.

Our speakers will kick off the jam with their aspirations and random brainfarts, after which we open up the floor for everyone to share their wild ideas.
