Teen Science Lectures at Town Hall Seattle
(from Wier Harman, Town Hall Seattle)
These events, designed for grades 7-10 and each featuring a 30 minute presentation followed by open Q+A, are offered free of charge; as seating is limited, your only obligation is to RSVP to me with a projected attendance for your group by three weeks prior.
Two lectures are currently scheduled:
Tuesday May 15, 4-5pm Natalie Angier speaking on "The Canon"
Natalie Angier, Pulitzer Prize-winner and author of the bestselling 'Woman', comes to Town Hall on a book tour in support of her forthcoming THE CANON: A Whirligig Tour of the Beautiful Basics of Science. The book is a witty, passionate primer on the fundamentals of science, and her talk will draw on conversations with hundreds of the world's top scientists, as well as her own experience as an award-winning science reporter for The New York Times. Advance copies of the book may be available for curricular integration.
Tuesday May 29, 4-5pm Lisa Shimizu on "An Inconvenient Truth"
To help teens understand the science of climate change, Lisa Shimizu, of KEXP 90.3 FM and trained by Al Gore through The Climate Project, presents a 40-minute slide show especially designed for students 12-15 based on material from the Academy Award-winning film, An Inconvenient Truth. Students attending will receive, free, a copy of The Low Carbon Diet, a how-to guide showing easy ways for families to reduce their carbon footprint.
Again, both programs are free, but RSVPs are requested, and we will ask participating teachers to collect a projected number of attendees so we can plan accordingly. Town Hall is located at 8th and Seneca, with handy parking adjacent or in convention center lots. And please feel free to contact me, via e-mail or telephone, with any questions you may have. Thanks very much!
