tbfn youth programming registration

after registration, specific communication between leaders, parents and participants use youth.programs@tbfn.net.

  1. to educate a new generation of science savvy citizens capable of making rational personal and professional decisions.
  2. to increase awareness of, and seek solutions to the conflict between environmental protection science and science on which beneficial, but potentially disruptive technological advances are made.
  3. achieve above goals through active participation in visits to local science and technology establishments, regional protected natural areas, documentation of activities using digital and social media platforms.
  4. enhance communication and accessibility of science learning to participants from varied, often underrepresented, cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.
