This booklet will guide you through the elements to consider when planning an event for National Science Week. It is by no means exhaustive as a great deal will vary depending on your own ideas and objective, but it will give you a foundation to a well-structured event.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nDuring National Science Week there are hundreds of events running concurrently across the country. Due to these numbers, the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research (DIISR) can’t be intimately involved in each event, but we do want to provide as much assistance as possible. Hence, the following manual has been put together to assist you in devising and staging a successful event as part of National Science Week event.  \nIf you have already run a National Science Week event in the past, you may find some of this material rather simplistic, but there may also be a range of useful suggestions and considerations to take into account.  \nIf you have never run a National Science Week event before, then this guide will provide a great base to begin your planning.  \nThe manual has been broken down into four sections:  \n1) Initial Ideas  \n2) Planning & Implementing  \n3) On the Day  \n4) Post-event  \nINITIAL IDEAS  \nNational Science Week encourages creativity and innovation when planning an event for the week’s festivities. There are no restrictions in terms of topics, audience, venue or format; we only ask that your event seeks to fulfill the National Science Week objectives to:  \n1) Promote and encourage interest in the areas of science, engineering, technology and/or innovation; and  \n2) Communicate the relevance of this area in everyday life.  \nThe objectives of National Science Week are to:  \n Celebrate Australian talents and achievements in science, innovation, mathematics, engineering and technology (‘science’ will be used as the generic term for these fields) ;  \n Provide an opportunity for all Australians to participate in events and activities that showcase science;  \n Demonstrate how science is interesting, challenging, important, and of direct relevance to our daily lives, the well-being of society and the environmentally sustainable growth of our economy;  \n Encourage young people to continue science studies beyond the compulsory years of schooling and to pursue science-based careers; and  \n Demonstrate the links between science subjects and science-based careers.  \nOutlined below you will find guidance to structuring your initial ideas and thoughts for your event.  \nDefine who, what & why?  \nOnce you’ve decided to hold an event during National Science Week, it can be a little overwhelming as to where to begin your planning. While you probably have these things in mind we suggest your initial thoughts should concentrate on clearly articulating the foundations:  \n Who is the event going to be for? (Audience)  \n What type of event will I host? (Type & Format)  \n Why am I going to hold this event? (Objectives)  \nThere is no order in which you should determine each of these three foundations, but whichever comes first will dictate the others. For example, you may have a great idea for a basic but fun hands-on experiment, this would in turn dictate your audience as it would be most suitable for primary school aged children, and your objectives certainly wouldn’t be to educate the adult audience about climate change.  \nAudience  \nIdentifying your target audience is essential in developing your event. It will play a large part in the type of event you will host and it will determine your publicity campaign. When defining your target audience and ensuring it is consistent with your event objectives and format, you may want to consider the following:  \n Age;  \n Location;  \n Interests;  \n Experience in the subject area of your event; and,  \n Why they would want to attend your event.  \nType & Format  \nConsidering the subject matter","cbCaiiArUCQ5GPmx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiArUCQ5GPmx","pdf",361144,13,"English","# Introduction\n## National Science Week context and support\n# Initial Ideas\n## Define who, what & why\n## Audience\n## Type & Format\n## Objectives","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this manual for National Science Week events?\",\"answer\":\"It provides guidance on the elements to consider when planning an event for National Science Week, offering a foundation for building a well-structured event.\"},{\"question\":\"How should event planners start when developing an idea?\",\"answer\":\"Start by clearly articulating the foundations: who the audience is, what type and format the event will use, and why it will be held, then let the order of these choices shape the others.\"},{\"question\":\"What objectives should National Science Week events focus on?\",\"answer\":\"Events should promote interest in science, engineering, technology and innovation, communicate their relevance in everyday life, enable all Australians to participate, and encourage young people to continue science studies and careers while showing links between science subjects and science-based jobs.\"}]","How to run a public event | PDF",1789157000]
