Workshop: Teach Science through Story (Parents and Teachers)
Sign up for this lively workshop and bring a story! We'll discuss the science woven inside the story and compare and contrast the languages of story and science.
Unlike a lecture, storytelling is an act of co-creation between the 'teller and the listener. That is why oral tradition was the main source of "knowledge management" for thousands of years.
Storytelling is an effective communication tool and an economical type of outreach. Lynn offers "tricks" of the storytelling trade with emphasis on storytelling for IYA.
We invite family educators from parents to museum and nature center guides.
The workshop will be complemented by hands on activities.
