Ask one

minister

In "Ask a Minister", a school class meets a politician at The Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology. The students ask questions about society, industry, the environment, technology, history and medicine, and hear what it's like to make decisions in our country. Finally, the minister is given a fun challenge.

The discussion is based on an exhibition at the museum, allowing students to explore the questions in a professional context. The class prepares the questions in the classroom before the visit, as part of the teaching. The visit is thus a natural extension of what they are already learning.
