Center for High-rate Nanomanufacturing Sharing Science Workshops, Fall 2009 Survey Results

July 15, 2010 | Professional Development, Conferences, and Networks, Informal/Formal Connections
The Museum of Science partnered with the Center for High-rate Nanomanufacturing to create a sequence of professional development experiences in science communication and hands-on learning for graduate students and post-docs. The Sharing Science Workshops were intended to help graduate students who work with the CHN program to improve their abilities to present their research to a variety of scientific and nonscientific audiences. The sequence included a half-day "Sharing Science" workshop, a half-day guided "Practicum" with museum visitors, and optional participation in NanoDays events at MOS. The UMass Donahue Institute undertook an evaluation of the first two programs to better understand their impact. The appendix includes surveys and open-ended questions used in the evaluation.
