Description
The ability to communicate about your work with a wide array of audiences is an essential and highly transferrable skill. Emphasizing the importance of public engagement, the course explores how scientists can effectively explain complex ideas to non-specialists, craft compelling narratives for a diversity of learners, and evaluate the impact of their outreach efforts. Participants will design and assess informal education products, with a focus on developing accessible and meaningful learning experiences beyond the context of academia. Cultivating an awareness of audience perspective and the venues in which science is learned, this course prepares participants to translate their work for classrooms, communities, and the broader public.
