Science Gateway exhibitions training

Monday 19 May 2025, 13:00 → 15:00 Europe/Zurich

Meet at the Guides space (bdg 86)

Enthusiastic to help visitors Discover CERN? Want to accompany them on a journey Back to the Big Bang?  Passionate about all things Quantum? 

Discover the 3 exhibition spaces in Science Gateway. Learn about how to encourage visitors to explore the exhibits and help empower them to make their own deductions, telling a few CERN stories along the way.

It’s perhaps an opportunity to change some vocations, to help a broad spectrum of public engage with science and have fun.

This training prepares you for guiding in the exhibition areas of Science Gateway, covering topics such as asking open questions to encourage exploration, doing demonstrations around some of the exhibits, explain how our mini particle accelerator works and some basic accessibility dos and don’ts. This is not a complete explanation of all the exhibition content and prospective guides will need to spend some additional time familiarising themselves with exhibits in the area they chose to guide.

Pre-requisites 

• You should have followed the Introduction course for guides and the Science Gateway facilities training.
• We also recommend that you visit Science Gateway exhibitions at least once on your own before attending the course.
• You should be at ease communicating in either English or French.  A minimum level of French is recommended, because of the number of local visitors expected, but it is not obligatory.
