As science and technology centers and museums re-open and plan for re-opening, they are confronted with a number of challenges that require thoughtful consideration and planning. ASTC is hosting a series of discussions to support peer-to-peer sharing around timely topics.
This discussion looked at how educators are re-envisioning the role of outreach education, both in-person and online, for preK and up.

ASTC Re-think, Re-frame, Re-open – Outreach Programs from ASTC Programs and Events on Vimeo.
Presented with the ASTC NEON (National Education Outreach Network) Community and the ASTC Early Childhood Community.
“Design thinking” provides structure to our peer discussions, and can help us better understand these challenges, explore them in creative ways, and create solutions that we can test in real time. While these are uncharted waters, we can welcome these challenges, remain flexible with our ideas and solutions, and open to embracing failures, which can ultimately lead us to new possibilities to better support the safety of our communities, internally and externally.
