Science Literacy Week : Building Partnerships through a Passion for Discovery Ishida, Mayu; Lomness, Arielle; Taylor, Sally; Vis-Dunbar, Mathew
Abstract
Launched in 2014 by a graduate of the University of Toronto who reached out to libraries in his city, Science Literacy Week now partners libraries, museums, and universities across Canada through a passion for discovery and sharing. The week-long event unites inquiry and zeal, highlighting Canadian scientists and science communicators. Librarians at the University of British Columbia (UBC) joined the foray in 2015, venturing out of their comfort zone to organize events and displays celebrating the wonders of science. The first year saw a modest book display and a few exhibits, but the event has grown to include a Wikipedia edit-a-thon, a Science Expo, a Living Library, and a coding workshop. We’ll share how this was achieved through collaborations within the library, with campus groups, and beyond UBC. Join us as we explore the secret ingredients that have contributed to a fun and successful annual celebration.
