Join us for Science Fiction and STEM: Fascinating, Immersive and Engaging 5/12/15 @ 12noon

The LCPA What If… Science Fiction and Fantasy Forum and the Educational Outreach Team present:
Fascinating and Immersive: Strategies, Spaces, and Science Fiction

“Fascinating and immersive” are terms that both the Museum of Science Fiction and the Library’s Educational Outreach Team use to describe their approaches to Education. The team creating the Museum believes that science fiction presents an ideal device for sparking interest and spurring proficiency in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math)
and STEAM (including the arts) academic areas.

The Library’s Educational Outreach Team agrees—and believes that primary sources related to science and science fiction can inspire students and teachers to embark on lifelong journeys of discovery. Come learn how these two groups are working with science educators and students in compelling ways!

Come join us on Tuesday, May 12, 2015, 12:00 Noon in the Mumford Room, 6th Floor, Library of Congress Madison Building and learn how to use science fiction to spark kids' interest in science.
