I wanted to let everyone know about an upcoming conference (and at little/no cost to you):

BRIDGES: A Museum/Community Partnership Conference to be held at The Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, PA  June 20-22, 2008 will bring together museum and community pairs from 25 partnerships to explore best practices for developing and sustaining a shared vision of engaging underserved families in science enrichment activities. BRIDGES is specifically designed for programs whose primary audience is family groups. Transportation, hotel, and meal costs will be paid by a National Science Foundation grant.

BRIDGES will provide opportunities for participants to share triumphs and tragedies and build an ongoing community of practice. A dynamic keynote speaker, poster sessions, and breakout discussions will form the basis for building a new museum/community network for science programs that serve families.

Space is limited apply today
