Event Information

At Conor O'Neill's Traditional Irish Pub, 318 S. Main St., Ann Arbor. Science education is crucial for citizens of the 21st century. Can experiences at museums affect children’s interest and achievement in science? How can parents best use these community resources? On a policy level, what can schools and museums do to raise the bar in science literacy, for both children and adults? Join Professor Pamela Davis-Kean of the UM’s Department of Psychology and the Institute for Social Research, and Jon Miller, the John A. Hannah Professor of Integrative Studies at Michigan State University. Join us for hors d’oeuvres at 5:30 and a brief presentation at 6:00 pm, followed by discussion. Participants must be 21 to purchase alcoholic beverages. Everyone is welcome and invited to purchase additional food and beverages.
