Community Partnerships Serving Science

明尼苏达科学博物馆希望在博物馆和小型社区科学组织（cbso）之间建立一个伙伴关系网络。cbso将接受专业发展讲习班，以提高其制作高质量展览和出版物的能力，并提供有效的科学方案编制。来自每个科学组织的一个团队将参加一个12小时的技能发展研讨会，包括展品开发、观众研究、科学传播和项目开发等主题。讲习班“工具包”将囊括培训讲习班的精髓，并提供给其他博物馆。每个团队将开发一个小型巡回展览和支持材料。年度科学峰会计划将向公众、博物馆参观者和学生展示CBSO，而CBSO圆桌会议将邀请参与者探讨合作和规划策略。将建立一个在线数据库，并向公众免费提供所有地方cbso的印刷资源指南。该模型将在两个小型科学中心进行测试，一个是位于SD苏福尔斯的Kirby科学发现中心，另一个是位于MN Bemidji的Headwaters科学中心。预计该项目将为72个组织和450名CBSO工作人员提供服务，此外还有5 000多名公众。

The Science Museum of Minnesota would like to create a network of partnerships between the museum and small community-based science organizations (CBSOs). CBSOs will receive professional development workshops to increase their capacity to produce high quality exhibits and publications and offer effective science programming. A team from each science organization will participate in a 12-hour skills development workshop to cover such topics as exhibit development, audience research, science communication and program development. A workshop "tool kit" will capture the essence of the training workshops and be made available to other museums. Each team will develop a small traveling exhibit and supporting materials. Annual Science Summit programs will showcase the CBSOs to the general public, museum visitors and students, while a CBSO Roundtable will invite the participants to explore collaborations and programming strategies. An online database will be created and a complimentary printed resource guide of all local CBSOs will be available to the public. The model will be tested at two small science centers, the Kirby Science Discovery Center in Sioux Falls, SD, and at the Headwaters Science Center in Bemidji, MN. It is anticipated that 72 organizations and 450 CBSO staff members will be served by this project, in addition to over 5,000 members of the general public.
