Communicating Science
Undergraduate Communicating Science Course created by the Lawrence Hall of Science, UC Berkeley
http://www.lawrencehallofscience.org/comsci/index.html
Begun as an innovative science teaching methods course for university science students, the Communicating Science course has continued to evolve and has also been shown to be a highly effective and engaging platform for a number of different audiences, purposes, and educational settings. Communicating Science is an effective and flexible tool for engaging educators in each of the following settings:
- Science outreach to local classrooms involving college undergrads & graduate students
- Training staff at science centers and aquaria
- Pre-service science methods courses
- Professional development institutes for K–8 teachers
- Teacher’s workshops, using selected sessions on key topics
- Orienting university faculty and graduate students to inquiry-based teaching approaches
Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science
http://www.centerforcommunicatingscience.org/alan-alda/
After interviewing hundreds of scientists, Mr. Alda became convinced that many researchers have wonderful stories to tell, but some need help in telling them. Mr. Alda played an important role in the creation of the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science, and has led workshops that use improvisational theater games to help scientists communicate more directly and personally.
