What is informal science education?
Informal science education supports people of all ages and walks of life in exploring science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Join Rick Bonney of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, September 14-18, in the CAISE Forum for discussion around the topic of a recent CAISE Inquiry Group report. Public Participation in Scientific Research: Defining the Field and Assessing Its Potential for Informal Science Education is available on the CAISE website.
To participate in the discussion, go to connect.astc.org, set up an account, then sign yourself into the “CAISE Forum” area by entering the keyword “informal”. You’ll receive an email from Rick as we get started on Monday. The discussion is asynchronous. You can set your own schedule for when you join the discussion.
If you can't make this one, keep an eye on the CAISE website. More online discussions are in the works.
