INQ-277 | Science Storytelling

Topic Description:

In this course, students will create a children's book about a scientific concept or process. Selecting a topic most interesting to you, you'll come up with a narrative and then create a graphical storyboard to lay out your book. Whether your book answers the question "What is wind?", depicts an epic battle between a virus and white blood cells, or features an octopus comedian, I'm sure you have a story to tell. You'll learn from children's book authors about their storytelling process and from scientists who incorporate public outreach into their research. By the end of the course, you will be a practiced science communicator and self-published author.
