Are you interested in learning about improv? Do you like environmental science?

Join the Improv + Science Workshop at the CU Museum of Natural History! The workshop takes place from 9 a.m to 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 11. 

About the workshop

The workshop will bring together local high school students and CU Boulder undergraduate/graduate students studying environmental science to learn about improvisational theater and how the principles of improv can foster communication and collaboration in science. Students will learn and perform improvisational theater games and scenes in the context of environmental science.

Improv requires the communication skills (e.g., listening, responding, storytelling) that are beneficial to engaging with others in science, particularly in collaborating to develop research ideas. We believe this is an innovative way to teach young people and have them practice these skills as they learn about environmental science topics. And…it’s fun!
