Welcome to the Science of Minnesota's Science Connect Toolkit. Use this book to help you and your community-based science organization (CBSO) craft and launch projects that help fulfill your educational mission. The Science Connect Toolkit is not a workbook - it is an assorted collection of project development-related worksheets, examples, and tips contributed by Science Museum staff and guest specialists. The materials are loosely organized according to phases of the Science Museum of Minnesota's exhibit development process. With a little creativity, you can adapt most of the ideas to be relevant to whatever project you have in mind.
The Science Connect Toolkit is a product of the Community Partnerships Serving Science Project (CPSS), a project funded by the national Science Foundation's Informal Science Education Program from 2003-2007 (ESI-0206382). Any opinions, recommendations, findings, or conclusions expressed in this publication are those of the editor and contributors, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.
You may copy materials in the Toolkit for educational purposes only. All content is owned by the Science Museum of Minnesota or by individual authors and is not to be sold or used for profit.
