Self-guided experiences for schools

How can science museums and centres create memorable experiences that inspire students about science and the natural world and that also support the school curriculum, without any facilitator? What does the perfect self-guided school experience look like? How can museums provide the structure that teachers seem to want in an often open-ended learning environment? Should museums ban worksheets in favour of other engagement methods entirely? Speakers will present the challenges they have faced while developing self-guided activities and share how they have tried to overcome them. Delegates will then be invited to discuss the questions raised. We hope to facilitate fruitful discussion and generate ideas that delegates can use to inform their strategies for school provision at their institutions.
