Engaging Visitors in Nanotechnology & Society

Day 2 Agenda (up to the break) “Questions” improv exercise Intro to team-based inquiry Tools for reflecting on visitor interactions Practice observing and collecting data “Flying Cars” activity Big idea 3: Technologies work because they’re part of systems “Light Switch” discussion “Speed Bump” video Practice “Flying Cars”

Improv Exercise Questions What skills are we practicing in this activity?

4 Scientific Inquiry 1. Observe 2. Hypothesize 3. Investigate 4. Interpret 5. Disseminate

5 Professional Inquiry 1. Question 2. Investigate 3. Reflect 4. Improve

Team-Based Inquiry Team-based inquiry allows us to gather and use the information we need, when we need it, in order to improve our educational products and practices. 1. Question 2. Investigate 3. Reflect 4. Improve

“Horton Hears a Who” Data collection Observations of participants Surveys with caregivers and parents Debrief with program developers Lessons learned Program works best for ages 3-5 Prompt participation during the story Does the program engage young children? How could it be improved?

NanoDays 2012 Posters Data collection Interviews with 30 visitors at three museums Informal observations by team Debrief with educators Lessons learned Visitors liked the graphics and suggested improvements Educators felt graphics attracted attention and defined space Are educational posters worth including in the NanoDays 2012 kit?

Nano and Society TBI 1. Question 2. Investigate 3. Reflect 4. Improve 1. What strategies support engagement and learning? 2. Use the conversation log to document interactions. 3. Review the logs with others and identify patterns. 4. Identify successful strategies and develop new techniques.
