With so many great initiatives in the space sector recently we are more than eager to connect again and reach out to even greater audience of space enthusiasts in 2021. Join the upcoming Ecsite Space Group activities, which will be spread over 3 days: 18th, 22nd and 23rd of June.
You are welcome to join the second online workshop within the opening up research series. This workshop will provide an opportunity to hear about the RETHINK project research findings and discuss their implications. We anticipate focusing particularly on how quality criteria could be applied by actors ranging from university press officers to bloggers.
In the final session we'll reflect on ways to document our work and collaborate with each other. We'll brainstorm ways to support professional development activities, try out one more project that can be facilitated at home using everyday materials and return to the initial prompt of thinking about why tinkering is a valuable approach for all learners.
In the third session we'll think together about the ways that tinkering involves a sense of co-creation. We'll hear participants’ and facilitators’ voices and discuss how we can support personal expression and engage with communities. We'll consider how the pandemic has provided challenges and opportunities for an inclusive practice.
During the second workshop we'll meet some artists, scientists and makers from around the world and see how their approach can inspire our explorations. We'll try out a hands-on activity together and reflect on different ways of describing the goals and outcomes of the tinkering experience.
In the first session of the Workroom we'll get to know each other, try an open-ended activity designed for online tinkering workshops and discuss how the pandemic has changed and complicated tinkering projects, programmes and environments both online and in-person.
In our final week young learners from across Europe will be placed on centre stage: for us to construct a shared narrative of the future we need to understand the experiences and world views of the next generation.
This week we hear from a number of speakers who will share new tools that can be used to give communities an access point to express themselves and be heard.
In this first session of “Imagining futures for informal science learning” we will take inspiration from Keynote speaker Dr. Frederic Bertley.
The third and final event of the workroom brings the whole group back together. We will be presenting our new projects with the rest of the group, identifying ways in which we can combine our approach to blended learning and create value for the education sector.
