Description:

This guide provides information and resources for planning and hosting a Sharing Science Workshop & Practicum for early career researchers that will enhance their science communication skills, engage their interest in education and outreach, and prepare them for providing effective and rewarding education outreach experiences.

Objectives

Big Idea:

The Sharing Science Workshop & Practicum helps to build stronger ties between universities, researchers, educators, and the community. Science museums gain enthusiastic volunteers, university faculty members appreciate the mentoring provided for their graduate students in science communication and outreach, and students appreciate the opportunity to contribute their knowledge in meaningful ways.
