Participants at the ASTC RAP "Exploring approaches to presenting science and technology " hosted by staff at the Science Museum of Minnesota, March 1-3, will review and discuss the variety of approaches to current science programming and explore potential collaborations for sharing expertise, programs, and products.

"Roundtables for the Advancement of the Professions" (RAPs) help answer the need for year-round professional development for the science center field.
