APS6001 Engaging with the Public

Aims/Description: This group project works towards the planning, organisation and delivery of a public event/ Festival in Science. This will run in parallel with National Science week (usually in March). The delivery of this group project will be by the students, under supervision of the module co-ordinator. The group will develop and use their communication skills to liaise and engage with the public and prepare the materials and resources required to stage an effective event. This module will equip students with the skills required for an online-focused fast-paced social-media world. Primarily workshop and tutorial based, candidates will be introduced to film, audio and online publishing production, including editing skills.
