C2ST’s proposal to showcase our Science Communication Internship at the PCST conference in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, has been accepted!
The main theme of PCST 2023 is ‘Creating Common Ground.’ This theme signifies the role and value of science communication as boundary work that connects scientists, engineers, policymakers, business leaders, and citizens.
Creating common ground entails the idea of a broad perspective on science communication research and its practices. This aligns with the ongoing discovery of the science communication domain. One might view science communication as a social network of connected professionals and the public, collaboration between research and practices, which all together steers science and technology development and vice versa.
The PCST Network has brought together practitioners, educators, and researchers in science communication at its series of conferences, starting in 1989. Previous conferences have occurred in South Korea, Brazil, Australia, and many other countries. PCST-2023 puts into practice what we preach: the hosts are a Dutch consortium of science communication professionals, both practice- and research-based.
The goal of our ‘full STEAM ahead’ event is to ignite curiosity in STEM and the Arts.
Communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking are important skills to develop for 21st-century careers. At Hernandez Middle School (HMS), all students work on developing these skills throughout their classes. At the STEAM event, participants will engage in activities related to one of the 5C’s that shows connections between STEM and the Arts. Possible sessions include: visualizing sound via an oscilloscope, creating your own phonograph, and sensing interference patterns via sound.
*This event is closed to the general public and is only open to HMS families. If you’d like to volunteer and get involved, please click the link above!
