Effective outreach is key to growing and diversifying the scientific computing community, engaging everyone from students and researchers to policymakers and the public. Yet, many organisations struggle to build or sustain outreach programmes, especially without dedicated staff or resources. This session is designed to ease those challenges by showcasing practical ways to reinvent, reuse, and repurpose existing outreach materials to meet diverse needs and audiences. By considering important factors such as accessibility, communication style, and background knowledge, participants will leave with a ready-to-use strategy for adapting outreach, lowering the barrier to more inclusive and impactful outreach efforts.
Whether you are experienced, brand new, or simply curious about outreach, come along! Your perspective is valuable in helping us grow outreach activities and inspire the next generation to pursue a career in scientific computing.
This session has been organised by Andrew Gait, Eleanor Broadway, Marion Weinzierl, Nick Brown, Oscar Seip, Stefan Piatek, Tobias Weinzierl, Eva Fernandez Amez.
