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 focused on the ways that smaller science centers and museums are changing to serve their communities during today’s challenges.
Watch video of case studies from smaller institutions that were shared at the beginning of this event:
ASTC Re-think, Re-frame, Re-open – Smaller Institutions from ASTC Programs and Events on Vimeo.
Presented with the ASTC Small Museums 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.
