‘Danger High Voltage’ @ the Science Museum!
May 25th, 2009The CREW Training team were asked by the Science Museum (sciencemuseum .org.uk) to help their outreach team, fine-tune their presentation skills, for their exciting new electricity game show. CREW brought on board experience from our ‘Bright Sparks’ Electricity workshop for KS1 And KS2, and combined this with our presentation skills training. This was, together with the knowledge and resources of the Science Museum team; to help target their ‘Danger High Voltage’ show, to specifically engage a KS3 audience. The challenge was for the two teams to create a show that was exciting enough to appeal to the passions of the teenage audience, without compromising the educational validity of the experience. The ‘DHV’ show is an exciting, educational, game show, that introduces/ reinforces the KS3 electricity curriculum to (approx) 200 children per show. Throughout the project it became clear that the age and size of the KS3 audiences demanded a level of presentation that artfully combined exciting interaction techniques with defined control skills. I am very pleased to say that the teams worked extremely hard to ensure that this show has become a great example of KS3 interactive science. A big thank you to the SM team: Nathaniel, Damien, Danny, Tracey, Deanne, Jane, and Jammie, not forgetting, Shana and Richard (the happy couple).
