“I’m a big believer in experiential learning!” says David Painter, an educator with the Flagstaff Unified School District.
The impact that experiential, hands-on education has on students, is exemplified with the Flagstaff Festival of Science. The goal of the In-School Speaker Program is to connect and inspire youth with the wonders of science.
Kids learn more about STEM when they talk with REAL scientists.
“As an educator, I appreciate all the hard work behind the scenes that goes into planning such an important series such as the Festival of Science’s In-School Speaker program,” says Painter. “I truly believe in the power of wonderful guest speakers that I have been fortunate to have over the years from the Flagstaff Festival of Science!”
The Festival will reach more than 4000 kids with In-School Speakers this winter.
You can support the Festival of Science’s Educational Inititatives on Giving Tuesday. A gift of $25 or more will get us to our $1,000 match and our $5,000 goal!
