Rather than trying to entice students to pursue careers in science,
ST focuses on the issue of science literacy and attempts to instill
an enthusiasm and appreciation for science.
The goals of Science Theatre's school visits are:
- to act as a resource for teachers by providing supplementary materials,
equipment, and expertise that may be used to augment their curriculum.
- to interact with students, helping them build on what they have learned
in the classroom.
- to show students the relevence of science in everyday life.
- to provide positive role models and to encourage students to continue
their scientific education.
- to support and encourage teachers in any way possible.
The goals of Science Theatre's community visits are:
- to act as an interface between the general public and the scientific
community.
- to demystify science and scientists.
- to discourage stereotypes of science and scientists.
- to be a source of accurate and timely information about the science that
affects our daily lives.
