Engagement & Partnerships
Projects
We collaborate with a range of audiences and create participant led projects. Our projects enable us to:
- Reflect the cultural and social experiences of the local community
- Build science capital in the local area
- Collaborate, co-curate or co-produce interesting and relevant projects
- Undertake research which supports the creation of Techniquest workshops, content and shows
Connect Membership Tickets
Are you a local resident to Techniquest?
Our connect membership scheme has been created to encourage individuals from the local area to engage regularly with Techniquest.
ESOL Classes & Hire Space
We are dedicating a new and creative space to our local area.
The space will launch in Spring 2020. In the meantime, we continue to work with a small number of groups to understand how to create a space which is of, by and for local people.
Find out more about the current ESOL (English as a second language) group that runs every Wednesday – ‘Friends’
Touring Exhibits
You could host one of Techniquest’s classic exhibits in your community space!
Apply for our annual ‘Exhibits in the Community’ scheme for the chance for your organisation to provide temporary home to one of our classic exhibits for a year. Create a buzz in your venue by introducing one of our interactive classic exhibits and make your space stand out from the crowd.
If you’re unsuccessful in our annual scheme, enquire about our other hire options.
Audience research
Our audience research empowers individuals to share their knowledge and life experiences. Research helps us understand their world and connect their interests with science, education and community development, highlighting and addressing questions that are relevant to those who participate.
Whether you’re an organisation or individual, you can be involved in our research.
Research sessions are fun and interactive. Please contact us to find out more about our current themes.
