Participants of Curious Minds-funded projects have been appointed as ambassadors to share their stories and expert advice with others.
People wanting to run community science/technology research and engagement projects now have peer support, mentorship and a community of practice that they can tap into.
All the ambassadors are also keen to share their knowledge about and enthusiasm for science engagement with others – including communities who want to learn from the ambassadors' experiences.
The ambassadors are available to participate in events/activities anywhere in Aotearoa New Zealand. Examples include (but are not limited to):
- a Skype/Zoom connection into a classroom or community group;
- judging a local or school event;
- providing mentorship;
- attending an workshop, conference or event about outreach, science communication or participatory science ;
- giving a talk about their work, an area of research, public engagement or participatory science.
