IN THIS ISSUE
September/October 2017
When delegates convene in Tokyo from November 15 to 17 for the Science Centre World Summit (hosted by Miraikan—the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation), they will examine ways to build connections and work toward a sustainable future.
How can science centers and museums work with community members and organizations—as well as partners in industry, schools, higher education, government, and other sectors—to design new projects with the potential to create transformational change in our communities, countries, and world?
The contributors to this issue share models, success stories, and challenges as they explore how co-designing with those outside our field might help us achieve more than we could on our own.
