Outline of Final Research Achievements

Our research has planned to develop a strategy to access to the lower-engagement in science. We found that almost all the participants in science and technology events were higher-engagement in science, using a segmentation method Victorian government has developed. We have developed several methods to approach the lower-engagement, such as dealing with a theme relevant to our lives, serving foods and drinks or collaborating with other non-science field etc.
