Oral Presentation Accessibility, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Astronomy Communication Contributor Session

Speaker

Jogie Ko (Science Centre Board)

Description

Astronomy is for everyone, yet connecting with broader audiences takes deliberate effort. To reach the full diversity of human backgrounds, abilities and motivations, Science Centre Singapore (SCS) has taken a range of intentional approaches, such as building multiple entry points for non-enthusiasts; designing experiences for diverse abilities and availabilities; and refreshing programmes for sustained engagement. Beyond programming, inclusion is woven into our diverse team of educators and our physical infrastructure. Join us as we share the strategies, lessons, and thinking behind how we sometimes 'disguise' astronomy, because meaningful connection begins with meeting people where they are, on their own terms.
