Everybody talks about it on the street, it stands on the front page of all newspapers and TV news programmes are fighting to get the best scientists in town. But how is your science centre addressing this hot topic?

In this gamified workshop, participants will be divided into groups representing fictional science centres. Each group will pick up cards and rely on chance to determine the budget, resources, constraints and opportunities to develop creative communication strategies that aim to present and debate scientific and technological topics currently on the social agenda. At the end of the session we will evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each strategy and discuss the wonders (and difficulties) of bringing scientific hot topics to museums and science centres.
