After taking part in the programme, children have a more accurate and inclusive perception of science and scientists. Comparing pre and post-workshop, there is a 30% decrease in the presence of words associated with scientific stereotypes, such as 'crazy', 'explosion', and 'lab coat'.
Pre-Workshop
What are the first three words that come to mind when you think of SCIENCE?
'Einstein' 'Fleming' 'Pasteur'
Post-Workshop
What are the first three words that come to mind when you think of SCIENCE?
'Einstein' 'Myself' 'Pasteur'
There is also an increase in children's self-confidence regarding their future, starting to believe that 'if I want to, I can be a scientist'.
Although with a focus on science literacy in children, our programmes have been known to inspire children and scientists alike. After delivering a Native Scientists workshop, scientists have started libraries in schools and created interdisciplinary research projects.
