Ask one

minister


In "Ask a Minister" we invite a 6th grade school class to meet a politician at The Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology .

Students get to ask questions about society, industry, the environment, technology, history and medicine – and hear what it's like to be involved in decision-making in our country. Finally, the minister gets a fun challenge!

The topic of the conversation is linked to a current exhibition at the museum, allowing students to explore the questions in a relevant academic context. The questions are prepared in the classroom before the visit, as part of the teaching.
