Students storyboard and write their own script for a science show and perform the show at a metropolitan primary school. They increase their ability to target particular audiences of science shows, especially audiences of school children. To prepare students for the task they consider criteria of engaging, informative science shows. They observe science shows in the Scitech Theatre, puppet shows and the outreach program. Students receive tuition from experienced science performers at Scitech in using props and in performance. -- Course Website
