The Royal BC Museum and IMAX Victoria Collaborate to Engage the Community, Increase Attendance, and Build Relationships with Their Annual Sustainability Design Challenge

Although we collaborate closely with our colleagues at the Royal BC Museum, IMAX® Victoria is a separate organization. There are barriers to collaboration (such as operation differences, the timelines on which decisions need to be made, resources available, scheduled content, pricing, and mandates), but the Learning Department of the Museum and the theatre have historically tried to offer cohesive programming. This is especially true when we get films that meet the needs of British Columbian Educators. Dream Big: Engineering Our World was one of those films. We had a very successful experience designing and implementing a collaborative program for school groups, and it continues today.
