Vishwamitra Oree
Effective Science Museum / School Partnerships
During his four month residency, Mr. Oree will investigate a variety of methods for developing museum / school collaborations that are beneficial to both museum educators and teachers of science. Among the sites he will study are the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center, the National Science Resources Center, and the Naturalist Center. Mr. Oree’s goal is to identify the features that characterize successful science museum / school partnerships and to gain an understanding of which practices best fit the context of developing countries.
