Hi Karen,
We are just a hop, skip and jump away from you in Ontario and I didn't
know about your program! My experience has been that when we have had
events occur only several times a year, attendance dropped off... At in
my former job, staffing limitations often was a barrier to providing
more frequent events. The support system is much different here, but I'd
still be very interested to know how you pulled it all together.
Thanks,
Staci

Here at the Ontario Science Centre, we piloted a new teen-focused
program called SciFri about 2 years ago. I'm happy to say that it
continues to run quite effectively and is now an important part of our
science engagement offerings to our visitors. The program runs 4-5
times a year on a Friday night after we close. It is for youth ages
14-19. There was an article in a past ASTC Dimensions newsletter on the
program that outlined how we pulled the program together and some of the
challenges we faced. Since it's pilot phase, we now have introduced a
Youth Advisory Council which works with our programmers to come up with
content, delivery ideas, topics, etc. to ensure we are programming
effectively for this very unique audience.
I'm happy to help out by sharing more information if you are interested.
Just send me an email and I can put you in touch with a few others who
have been working with me on this program.
Best regards,
Karen
