澳大利亚国立大学和澳大利亚国家科技馆在以科学促进澳大利亚及全球各地的民众之间的联系方面,因联手创建的推广项目——科学传播硕士/“壳牌科学马戏团”而闻名。30年来,这个项目在澳大利亚提供跨区域和偏远地区的科技实践活动,开发出一套切实可行的方法——利用便携式科学普及展览和简易器材,推出适合于不同地点和观众的科普展示与体验。在澳大利亚举办科学马戏团的经验可供许多国家借鉴,并已经应用于“科学马戏团外交”中。 |

Abstract: |
The Australian National University and Questacon have an over 30 year history connecting Australians from all walks of life—and many others around the globe—with science. Famed for their shared outreach program the Master of Science Communication Outreach / Shell Questacon Science Circus. Delivering hands-on science experiences across regional and remote Australia for over 30 years has led to the development of tried and trusted methods—using easily portable pop-up science exhibitions and simple and easily available materials—to deliver science shows and experiences suitable for many different venues and audiences. The experience of delivering the Science Circus in Australia is relevant to many countries and has led to its use in “Science Circus diplomacy”. |
