THE
YOUNG SKEPTICS PROGRAM
Community
Corner
Parents,
community groups and other individuals are interested in
developing programs that can be organized in local areas
and that serve as an outlet for young people to learn about
and experiment with science and skepticism, pseudoscience
and the paranormal. Extracurricular programs can compliment
traditional academic life by providing a less formal setting
in which to explore subjects of interest through a diverse
set of styles and methods. With a different structure than
the classroom and a greater emphasis on interdisciplinary
subjects and the popularity of the paranormal within our
societies, the programs can be great fun for participants
and provide a rich and diverse platform for the lifelong
pursuit of learning and creative and critical inquiry.
