Stage B , Sunday 11:30 AM - 12:00 PM
The impact of language on curiosity, creativity and scientific inquiry. This talk explores how easy it is, even with the best of intentions, to stifle creative thought and true learning when it comes to working with children in the areas of science, math and engineering. We will investigate examples of simple but powerful changes in language, with the intention of provoking the best of creative potential and shared inquiry.
