ASTC International Study

In order to find out whether and how science centres and museums can contribute to catalysing innovation skills for  STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths), the ASTC – Association of Science and Technology Centres)  asked its international members to organise focus groups, with discussions based around 11 statements from 11 countries or regions reacted positively (Australia, Chile, Columbia, Denmark, Flanders, Israel, Italy, Korea, Portugal, Thailand and South Africa) and set up focus groups involving teachers, science communicators and representatives from industry.

The project in Portugal

I was directly involved in the coordination of the project in Portugal, the moderation of the focus group and the writing of the national report.
