ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions. ***************************************************************************** Hello All Outreach Managers/Educators- I would like your feedback on your Outreach programs. I have just launched the Outreach program for the CT Science Center in January 2010. I have approx. 16 in class workshops, 7 activity stations & 2 assembly shows which I've developed our the past 3-4 months. The Science Center I work for has approx. 40,000 sq. ft. exhibit space. Some Questions for comparable sized Science Centers & Museums: How long do you spend creating workshops & assemblies? How long did you have to develop your outreach programs before you officially launched your program? How many Full time/ Part time Educators do you on staff? How many outreach vehicles do you have available for use? Did you make a profit in year 1? What is your most effective marketing tool? Market- schools, scouts, libraries? Please respond to my email below. Thank you in advance for your help!
