Engaging Visitors in Science and Society Conversations

Nano & Society Workshops

Overarching goal To empower educators and visitors to reflect on the relevance of technology to their lives.

Goals for Engaging Visitors in Conversations 1.Educators and visitors participate in open-ended, engaging conversations. 2.Educators and visitors have distinct, equally important roles in the conversation. 3.Participating in a conversation is a meaningful learning experience for visitors. 4.Facilitating a conversation is a valuable interpretive method for facilitators.

Two Approaches to Engaging Visitors Demonstration Scientist/educator has knowledge and expertise to share Visitors discover phenomena and laws of nature The facilitator communicates facts Visitors ask questions and receive answers Promotes basic goal public understanding Use this approach to explain the Bernoulli Principle to visitors Conversation Everyone has their own values and perspective to share Facilitators and visitors consider facts and values Facilitators and visitors ask questions and receive responses Visitors form opinions and explore ideas Promotes basic goal of public engagement Try this approach to engage visitors in nano and society

THREE BIG IDEAS

BIG IDEA: Values Values shape how technologies are developed and adopted.

BIG IDEA: Relationships Technologies affect social relationships.

BIG IDEA: Systems Technologies work because they’re part of systems.

TRAINING: Improv Exercise More info: nisenet.org/catalog/tools_guides/improv_exercises

Why implement improv exercises ? Warm up skills required for interacting with visitors Encourage conversations: with visitors (rather than reciting scripts) Be better listeners: think on your feet and respond in the moment Be responsive: better tailor content to visitors responses and integrate visitor feedback Be positioned as equals with visitors not “the expert” Foster teamwork & creativity: create a fun, supportive, positive work environment to practice skills Incorporating improv exercises into staff and volunteer training helps create a supportive and upbeat environment for educators to practice and strengthen essential skills.
