The Science Museum's Talk Science Seminar on Wednesday 27th June 2012 is the first in a series of seminars exploring the potential of museum collections to support the teaching of science. It aims to provide a practical forum for exploring creative techniques that help teachers and their students to engage in object rich museum galleries, and to generate a community of best practice. This seminar will survey: - what academics are saying about informal learning and schools - what museum practitioners are doing - what support teachers need to engage their students with museum collections. It will explore: - designing for conversation at exhibits - barriers to learning with science objects - topics for future seminars. This event is open to anyone who wants to attend, but is primarily aimed at: - Museum educators/professionals - Museum Studies students - Education consultants (Science/secondary focus) - Science centre educators/professionals Lunch and refreshments will be provided. Travel bursaries of up to £25 are available for those travelling from outside London who might otherwise not be able to attend. Places are free but booking is essential.
