The Human Spark Outreach: Collaboration between PBS Stations and Museums

Supported in major part by the National Science Foundation, The Human Spark (THS) project includes a three-part national PBS television series hosted by Alan Alda and a multifaceted outreach initiative to engage public television stations and their partner science museums nationwide in order to extend the utilization and impact of the project. As an independent evaluator, Multimedia Research was contracted by Thirteen to capture how the collaboration between television station and science museum outreach grantees and their respective outreach activities meet the stated goals of the outreach project. The overarching goal of this report is to identify best practices for supporting collaborations of local PBS stations and museums to implement informal science outreach activities involving video.
