Hands-on "science capital" workshop

Join our hands-on workshop to sample classroom activities inspired by museums and developed by teachers to help build students’ “science capital”. “Science capital” is a key concept in science engagement and refers to the attitudes, experiences and life skills that we hold and which help us appreciate the relevance of science. All the activities that we will share have been trialed by British or Swedish science teachers. But in this workshop we will also explore ways of amending these activities for your particular contexts. The workshop is aimed at educators, but will also be of interest to researchers and policy-makers keen to learn how museums and science centres can support the growth of science capital across their communities.
