Additional Station Ideas

Suggestions

  • One poster per station with the station name and a one-line summary.

  • A big 'welcome' poster at the front of the exhibit explaining who we are.

  • Purple UoM tablecloths to make us look even more professional.

  • A minimum of three volunteers per piece of equipment.

  • Remember that different laptops use different power cables.

  • Make sure all electrical equipment is PAT tested.

  • Have a follow-up website and activities for visitors to try at home.

  • Teach volunteers to speak publicly without technical jargon.

  • Have glossary posters defining key terms.

  • Visitors were interested in SLI and Speech Pathology.

  • Try to incorporate languages other than English.

  • Have maps of the stations with pictures and increased signage.

  • Volunteers looked professional with their Manchester ID on a lanyard.

  • Lots more stickers - maybe a sticker passport where children get to collect one sticker per station.
