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.

Workshop 10 May 2021

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.

Week 3 takes a look at the learners' experience

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 this first session of “Imagining futures for informal science learning” we will take inspiration from Keynote speaker Dr. Frederic Bertley.

Workshop 4 May 2021

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.
