Apologies for cross-posting.

There are spaces available for the Science in Collections workshops in
Birmingham (21-22 February) and Cardiff (13-14 April).

These two workshops conclude the series of Science in Collections workshop
that have connected science centre, museum, archive and library staff across
the UK in different cities.

One of our participants said:
"All in all, you couldn't get a more fun and cost effective 2 day workshop
full of practical advice if you tried!"

Details are below and on www.scizmic.net. In addition to the two-day
workshop, participants have the opportunity to host a science centre mentor
at their own organization for a day of practical and tailored advice.

questions, or to book a place!

sciZmic science in collections workshops

Museums and science centres across the UK are hosting a series of skills
workshops for anyone who would like to include more science in their
programming.

Each 2-day workshop examines how museums and art galleries can use
science as a topic in family programming. It is designed for all staff
who develop or deliver family programming.

Following the workshop, each participant will be appointed a mentor.
They can contact or meet with them to help them develop further
science-related programming.
