Learning Science Through Humoristic Stories

By Stefanos Giagtzoglou, Science View

In this 45-minute team-taught, immersive science communication workshop, participants will build skills to passionately communicate in a way that excites and encourages audiences to want to learn more about their work. Participants will discover how to develop humoristic science-based stories that educate, engage and at the same time entertain their audience (e.g. school/university students). By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to understand the science of laughter, gain insight into the joke mechanics, develop a science-related joke, and get familiarized with joke formulas and formats for writing humoristic science-based stories that will create a positive learning environment.
