 "Finger Nails and Factoids: The Impact of Informal
Learning on Formal Science Education" 

Science teachers are often so consumed by the demands of
formal education, that they rarely pause to consider the
role of informal learning on both themselves and their
students.  Such a situation is unfortunate, since
understanding how we learn about the world outside the
classroom can dramatically improve what happens in the
classroom.

The program begins at 4 PM; refreshments at 3:45 PM.
Parking available at the Campus Center Garage.
