In this conversation corner session, we’ll focus on thinking together how immersive exhibitions, videos, stories, pop-up environments and well curated themes can support tinkering activities in a science centre or museum. These contexts for tinkering can give a deeper meaning to the workshop, drive the tinkering process and foster imagination for staff and visitors.

This year at the Ecsite Conference’s MakerSpace we are opening a series of informal dialogues on topics that are important to the maker community. When we think back and remember times when we received unexpected tips on how to operate our space, found a great collaborator or discovered new practices we remember that an informal conversation between sessions led to these new ideas. Whether you are a MakerSpace pro or a complete newcomer, join these active discussion sessions and get new perspectives on making and tinkering in museums.
