ASTC RAPs (Roundtables for Advancing
the Professions) provide a forum for museum professionals
to network, learn together, and expand their knowledge base. Hosted
by ASTC-member institutions worldwide, these small-group weekend
intensives have covered a wide range of topics—from camp-ins
and youth programs to information-technology trends and outdoor
science parks. Participation fees, which help to defray
host museum costs, are generally US$50 for employees of ASTC-member institutions
and US$100 for nonmembers.

Creating Educational Partnerships
Minnetrista, Muncie, IN in partnership with WonderLab Museum, Bloomington, IN
At a time when museum are looking for ways to do more with less while striving to become in integral part of the community, partnerships and collaborations just make sense.
Join Minnetrista and WonderLab for a day of discussion, brainstorming, and problem solving as you:
- Explore how museums and other institutions of learning can co-create successful, worthwhile endeavors to support their missions and margins.
- Examine two established and evolving museum/university relationships focused on Professional Development Schools networks (Minnetrista and Ball State University) as well as teacher professional development and research grants (Wonderlab Museum and Indiana University).
- Discuss ways in which this idea could be implemented at your own institution; determine the needs of each partner, identify potential stakeholders, and generate a new perspective on collaborations.
Registration includes lunch and tickets to After Five: Disease Detectives on April 16th. Overnight accommodations will be provided for the first seven registrants.
