Editor's Notes

  1. Who are we? We bring together a dedicated team with varying areas of expertise to create engaging experiences Describe what each of us will do and bring to the project Our interdisciplinary background makes the team stronger and the program more interesting. We are uniquely placed.
  2. Real innovation, want to make unique experiences. Operating principle; to create holistic experiences that seamlessly merge science and art into unforgettable events that capture the essence of guerilla For the audiences underserved by mainstream public engagement including; Deaf community, and young people fm deprived areas
  3. DELIVER HIGH MEDIA PROFILE, BACKED BY PREVIOUS. Good place to mention profile. Make this about our profile. Media and online. Evidence of popularity and success amongst target audience media channels. We are uniquely placed. Everyone loves us.
  4. Event formats that have science content at their core, e.g. assault course = drug development, chameleon = evocations of disgust, and other emotions, rocket dog = spectacular science that makes people go wow
