Oslo Science Centre 's workshop is used for various types of teaching, where all programs emphasize student activity, creative joy and collaboration. In connection with the opening of a new creative workshop, TeknoLab, four new teaching schemes have been tested. These combine new technology with creative joy. In Teknoteket, a new teaching scheme has been developed, which uses weaving, an old craft technique, as a starting point.

During the last year, teaching in programming has been offered to children from nursery age to upper secondary school. Our niche is that we take coding off the screen and into the physical world. What you program on the screen has an effect on something physical, such as 3D models, patterns, robots, musical instruments and cars.

Oslo Science Centre is the regional science center for Oslo and its surroundings, which means that the science centre's area of ​​responsibility extends beyond the museum building at Kjelsås. Based on public surveys, it can be determined that there are large groups of the city's population who do not visit the museum today. In order to reach new potential visitor groups, it is important to be visible in the neighborhoods where people live. The museum has therefore entered into a collaboration agreement with Deichmanske, where science shows and creative activities are held outside in several of the library branches in Oslo south and Oslo east. This means that the museum, via the library, reaches a part of the population that today does not feel ownership of the museum, and in the long run this initiative may lead to an increase in visitors to the museum from the relevant urban areas.

The teaching offer for kindergartens has increased significantly, and has been in continuous development. The teaching programs have received good feedback and the main theme aimed at kindergartens has been mathematics.

The main focus on teacher courses has been science courses for kindergarten staff and courses in programming and creative workshops in schools. The courses have received extremely good feedback. What the courses have in common is that they are activity-based, where the participants participate actively. In addition, the second round of the continuing education Programming and creative workshop in schools was carried out. The continuing education runs throughout the school year 18/19, is a collaboration with OsloMet, and combines day courses on various topics with a week of practice in the creative centers.  

For the first time in several years, the museum again offers mathematics lessons. New mathematics activities have been established for kindergarten, junior high school and 3rd-4th grade. class. The aim is to make mathematics concrete and playful.

• The creator's workshop is a fantastic offer for children and young people, but also for teachers who can come here and learn more. It's basically about today's young people having to understand technology, but also help create technology, not just consume technology. I believe that what we see here will put the students in a better position to help solve many of the future's puzzles, says Minister for Knowledge and Integration Jan Tore Sanner.

The weekend and holiday program 2018 contained a large selection of activities with several newly developed schemes aimed at a family audience where play and learning are central. A clear goal has been to link activities thematically to the museum's core activities.  

• Kodepine Emma taught the music coding program Sonic Pi, Political game workshop with Kristina and Ole Haley, Summer workshop with the organization ByVerkstedet where the public could make bird boxes, boom boxes or gym bags, in collaboration with a sewing workshop. With RELOVE, soft stuffed animals were made from recycled materials and textiles from Hjula Væveri.

• Theme weekends were held with new activities that convey technology, history or science, such as the Feminist animation workshop, where the public could give the women a voice by making an animation clip about them. In connection with the exhibition PEOPLE, research into human biological variation was taken up for the little ones, with the story of Abrakasebra who was frozen out of the village because Gunnar the goat and the other animals did not trust striped animals. A new astronomy show was developed with experiments and simulations that seek answers to the universe's greatest secrets such as life on other planets, the sun and space rockets. Other activities were Laser crawling, Rubber propeller boat, LEGO WeDo, Did you know that... and not least French planes.   

• BUILD THE CHANGE was held for the eleventh time, where the theme was LEGO LOVE and visitors could frolic in a ton of LEGO bricks and build something they love.

I 2018 har museet tilbydd syv forskjellige undervisningstilbud innen medisin. Tilbudet strekker seg fra barnehagebarn til videregående elever. Tilbudet har bestått av; Smittsom (barnehage), Skjelettet og Kropp er topp (småskoletrinnet), BLOD (mellomtrinnet), Skjeletter i skapet, Rent og urent (videregående). FOLK (ungdomsskolen og videregående). I det dialogbaserte undervisningsopplegget FOLK - fra rasetyper til DNA sekvenser, utfordres elevene til å reflektere omkring den historiske og nåtidige forskningen på menneskelige biologiske forskjeller. Lydinstallasjonen Lyden av FOLK, utviklet i samarbeid med Grorud ungdomsråd, muliggjør en kreativ samhandling til å uttrykke seg om tema i et lydbilde.

The teaching program Clean and unclean is adapted to the Health and care line in vocational subjects and was the most popular teaching offer at the museum in 2018 with 104 tours in total. This offer has become an integral part of several schools' teaching in hygiene in VG1 Health and care.

In total, 3,630 students and teachers participated in a teaching offer within medical topics in 2018, divided into 185 tours, which is a slight increase from 2017.

27 groups participated in Meeting with Memories, a tailored service for people with dementia, which has existed since 2009. The tours are based on cultural historical objects that can strengthen people's memories and start a dialogue. Two different experiences are offered: Folk og fiff i farten, about bicycle trams, royal cars and Caravelles, and De nære ting, about houses and homes from the interwar period to the present day. A new program has also been tested and will be offered from January 2019; God helg about music and nightlife, sports and leisure, Saturday treats and radio from the 1940s-70s. A total of 133 users have participated in this in the past year. The service is a collaboration between The Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology , Geriatric Resource Center and the Oslo Municipality Health Agency.

SENT is a well-integrated evening concept with an 18-year age limit that mixes research dissemination, popular entertainment and more experimental stage formats with workshops, DJ and bar. In February, 500 people gathered at the SENT museum on the topic of beer with lectures on traditional brewing, a yeast lesson and the opportunity to participate in a brewing workshop. Labels, film and photos were shown and conveyed vividly from brewery books and yeast journals from the museum's historical archive after the Oslo Breweries. A student choir performed beer songs and a student brewing guild held a quiz.

In 2018, the museum's visitors could experience the magic of repair in the newly opened, well-equipped TeknoLab. In collaboration with Restarters, two fixing parties were arranged. At SENT during the LEGO Festival, visitors were invited to bring their old and beloved electronic products, to screw up, explore and repair them. The following weekend, the children also got to fix their own electric toys. Restarters provided a group of volunteer "fixers" and the museum with the tool.

On the first weekend in November, young and old could follow popular science lectures about chemistry in everyday life in the museum's pop-up science cafe. Among other things, they heard about good chemistry, the chemistry in coffee and other molecular gastronomy, poop, pee and farts in the periodic table, plant dyeing in industry and the chemistry in the technical conservation of museum objects.

At the chemistry square, visitors could experiment themselves and see demonstrations from staff at the museum and the school laboratory in chemistry, at the University of Oslo (UiO). In addition, photo archivists at the museum facilitated a workshop in cyanotopy, an ancient photographic copying technique. The chemistry festival was organized in collaboration with UiO and the Norwegian Chemical Society.

As part of the research days and European Researchers' Night, we organized Researchers' night – Making Sense Together, in collaboration with the Museum for University and Science History (MUV), UiO. The event was an interdisciplinary researcher's night with thematic anchoring in the newly opened exhibition PEOPLE — from racial types to DNA sequences, and other ventures at the Medical Museum. Researchers and visitors were invited to workshops and dialogic discussion tables in the exhibitions, and an on-stage conversation between author, geneticist and BBC presenter Adam Rutherford and curator of FOLK Ageliki Lefkaditou. There they took part in two artistic interventions, a guided tour and a dialogical DJ set. The event was supported by the Research Council of Norway.

Listen to the conversation DNA gap: What's missing in the history of everyone who has ever lived? with Ageliki Lefkaditou and Adam Rutherford:

In October, Medisinske rom opened, a completely new arena for open, safe, in-depth conversations between visitors and professionals about questions related to medicine, health and society. The conversation series builds on the dialogical conversation tables the museum has offered during events in recent years. First event in the Medical Rooms series. The power of diagnosis addressed gender diversity and the power of diagnosis about transsexualism, gender identity, diagnosis and treatment. Invited guests with expertise in activism, medicine and historical research led, together with moderators from the museum, small group conversations for the nearly 100 visitors. The event was supported by Fritt Ord. Medical rooms is also an upcoming exhibition that will open in the Medical Museum in 2020.

- I would like to praise the museum, which creates these new conversation rooms for us. I have gained a completely new view of what a museum should and can really do. Thank you very much, says Janecke Thesen, general practitioner in the specialist group for LGBT health in the Medical Association.

I samarbeid med Oslo Museum arrangerte museet Akerselva-aktiviteter både som vandringer langs elva og foredrag. Dette er et ledd i formidlingssatsingen på industrihistorie som Oslo Museum og The Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology fikk ansvar for i 2010.

Skjulte kvinner - De faste utstillingene omhandler i stor grad en tid da kvinnene hadde begrensede muligheter i arbeidslivet. Men også for hundre år siden var halve befolkningen kvinner, som levde og virket i et samfunn. Historier om skjulte kvinner ble trukket frem til 8. mars og fulgt opp under studentuka ved semesterstart høsten 2018. Kvinnehistorier knyttet til museets utstilte gjenstander handlet om fabrikkarbeidere i tekstilindustrien, pionérer i bil- og flyutstillingen og offentlig ansatte.

Vi kan-utstillingen 1938 - Oslo Håndverker- og Industriforening arrangerte Vi kan-utstillingen, ved foreningens 100 års jubileum. Folk ble kjent med nye forbruksvarer fra Oslo-bedrifter. Optimisme og fremtidstro stod i sentrum, uttrykt gjennom teknologi, nyskapende utstillingsdesign, reklame og arkitektur. Utstillingsområdet langs Frognerkilen inneholdt utstillingshaller, paviljonger og forlystelsesavdeling med karusell og berg-og-dal-bane. I forbindelse med utstillingens 80-års jubileum ble brosjyrer, brev og fotografier fra arkivet vist i industriutstillingene, i tillegg til foredrag og underholdning hentet fra utstillingen.
