Planning an event for CSF 2010? Want to make sure you'll connect with your public? Aren’t quite certain how to structure your program? Join the CSF Director and the MIT Museum Programs Team to get tips on public speaking, successful science demos that won't take forever to set up, identifying and marketing to a specific audience, and measuring and reporting the success of your event. This two hour workshop will introduce you to other event sponsors and science educators, outline resources available to you, give you a crash course in science communication, and offer an opportunity to troubleshoot the plans for your event (or start writing them up *nudge nudge*).

HIstory of the Festival: The first Cambridge Science Festival was held in April 2007. Over 15,000 people attended performances, talks, lectures, plays, the science carnival and a myriad of other events held throughout the City. Here, members of a middle school environmental group showed people how to save money and energy by changing to compact fluorescent lightbulbs.
The second Cambridge Science Festival in April-May 2008, was even bigger, with 25,000 people participating in over 250 events!
