Supporting programs that provide adults with accessible opportunities for education in science
Kids get science summer camps, museums, zoos and aquariums, but what encourages the curious adult?
Supporting programs that provide adults with education in science, history, and more.
“Kids are never the problem. They are born scientists. The problem is always the adults. They beat the curiosity out of kids. They outnumber kids. They vote. They wield resources. That’s why my public focus is primarily adults.” ―
Has anything given you a spark of curiosity? A project from high school maybe, some lab time in college, an article on your phone? You’d like to learn more, formal education, or even some local courses are too much. What options are there for you?
“We look at science as something very elite, which only a few people can learn. That’s just not true.” -Mae Jemison
Make You Think provides volunteers, funding, services, and tools for organizations that present science topics and opportunities to the general adult population in the Pacific Northwest. That way, these organizations can put their energies toward making the best presentations for their audience. (Volunteer with us!)
“If you look back on all the teachers that you liked, I am sure you will find they were very entertaining.” – Bill Nye
Make You Think board members have been creating adult science opportunities for years. They’ve been behind-the-scenes organizing logistics and on stage sharing their passions. The creation of this nonprofit allows us to expand our scope, and aim for more science events for more curious folks.
“All good research – whether for science or for a book – is a form of obsession.” ―
