WHY DO WE WANT TO MAKE SCIENCE ACCESSIBLE?
REMOVING BARRIERS TO SCIENCE
There are a myriad of barriers for people accessing science centres and science learning. These can include financial or language barriers, physical accessibility, and low science capital.
Improving Science Capital
Our experiences shape people’s attitudes, engagements and relationships with science.
Boosting STEM Skills
We develop skills for learning, life and work, including meta-skills.
Connection to Nature
Learning about earth and environmental science engages people in their local community.
Co-created experiences
We engage community partners in all aspects of programmes from creation to delivery and legacy.
Community Empowerment
Our programmes help everyone have agency to write the next chapter of Earth’s story.
