All students in the course will be required to participate in Celebrate Science Indiana in various ways. Celebrate Science Indiana, Indiana's Premier Science Festival, is a public event that demonstrates the importance of studying science and the joy of discovery, the economic value of science, and its significance to society. For all age groups and for individuals from all walks of life, science impacts our daily lives, and the event aims to encourage young Hoosiers to pursue exciting, rewarding careers in science. Celebrate Science Indiana features interactive events and activities, and, whenever possible, it will provide take-home information, activities, or innovative ideas for further investigation. Students will work in teams to develop different expectations to participate in the event. This will include creating the activity for event participants, developing a budget and ordering supplies, designing a survey and analysis of data collection from the event, and being present during the 8 hour event in October.
