Science Outreach Training
A training program for early-career quantum physics researchers to create and build their personal science outreach portfolios
Goals
- Increase understanding of types of outreach, different audiences, and help students realise that what works for them personally and academically.
- Provide practical experience of outreach through a wide range of activities.
- Increase understanding of the benefits of outreach.
- Create a suite of outreach products.
- Create an outreach portfolio to document experience, tools and skills.
What are QuSCo students’ personal motivation to do outreach?
- Eliminate scientific misconceptions.
- Motivate women and underprivileged groups to explore science.
- Extend my personal CV.
- Make research more accessible to society.
- Share my love for science.
- To show that researchers are also normal people, not all geniuses.
- Communicate with industry stakeholders and policymakers.
- Training my communication skills.
- Improve my personal knowledge and understanding.
