Oslo Science Centre

På oppdrag fra Utdanningsdirektoratet har Vitensenterforeningen, gjennom Den teknologiske skolesekken, fått midler til å gjennomføre grunnleggende programmeringskurs for alle landets 6. klassinger og deres lærere. Oslo Science Centre har ansvaret for Oslo og Nittedal. Fra 2019-2021 har vi kurset 97 skoler i programmering, hatt 5 603 elever og 471 lærere på kurs. Tilbakemeldingene er gode og vi kan meddele at 100 % av lærerne har svart at de tror elevprogrammet bidrar til økt interesse for programmering (1041 lærere, nasjonal evaluering). I 2022 fortsetter vi med lærerkurs, ute på skolene, hvor ambisjonen vår er at rundt 1 900 lærere skal få tilbudet. Mens museet var stengt, foregikk det meste av undervisningen ute på skolene. Vitensenteret har ansatt en egen pedagog som leder prosjektet. Prosjektet er et samarbeid mellom den norske vitensenterforeningen, Sparebankstiftelsen DNB og NRK Super. Tilbakemelding fra Udir nasjonalt: 
«… Som sagt mange ganger; vi er veldig fornøyde med og imponert over alt dere har fått til!» 

In the spring of 2020, the science center association started a digital learning offer in programming aimed at students in the 9th and 10th grades. The project was continued in 2021. The teaching is sent from the museum. The project is called Kodekraft, and is financed by Equinor. Oslo Science Centre 's area of ​​responsibility is Oslo and Nittedal. During 2021, 1,740 students and teachers participated in this project.  

Talent center for science was established as a pilot project by the Ministry of Education and Science in 2015. The offer falls under the Education Act as adapted teaching, and therefore takes place primarily during school hours in the form of various subject camps. From the 2020/21 school year, this became a permanent offer at Oslo Science Centre . The Talent Centre is an offer for academically strong school pupils who find ordinary teaching to be unchallenging. The Talent Centre 's mission is to provide them with customized training at a level that stimulates, engages and motivates. With active use of the creative workshops, students are encouraged to be creative and creative. With funds from Sparebankstiftelsen DNB, the offer was extended in 2020 to three other upper secondary schools, with associated secondary schools in Oslo: Hellerud, Persbråten and Hersleb. In addition, an agreement has been concluded with Bærum municipality to start a branch in the autumn of 2020. Due to the corona pandemic, this measure has not yet been implemented.   

In the spring of 2021, it became clear that FERD was providing funding for at least five years to ensure an expansion of the talent centre , including to venues outside Oslo. During the short time the offer has existed, The Talent Centre has become an important premise provider in the field of Students with great learning potential in Norway. The Talent Centre 's people are sought-after course providers around the country, and we are now responsible for creating a national plan for the development of teacher courses within the topic. The Science Centre's strong position as a provider of playful learning and a practical approach to heavy theory gave us the mandate to safeguard the wise minds of tomorrow, where students work in the cross-section of theoretical science, practical engineering and technology development. The Talent Centre at Oslo Science Centre has given The Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology increased collaboration with the higher education sector in terms of pedagogy and closer collaboration with the region's municipalities and county authorities.
