Breaking through boundaries in (and with) science education Ilkka Jormanainen Executive Director Joensuu Science Society ilkka.jormanainen@tiedeseura.fi
SciFest in a nutshell •  International science and technology festival •  Organized in Joensuu since 2007 •  Idea ”imported” from South Africa •  Four days, 8600 visitors (2012) •  80+ workshops, lectures, competitions, theatre, etc… •  SciFest is much about going beyond conventional boundaries
Breaking the attitudes   •  Who says that teenage girls are not fascinated about science, or that kids from less developed countries could not master technology?
Breaking the distances   •  The longest (?) tug-of-war in the world between Finland and South Africa
Breaking the language barriers   •  Their English may not be very fluent, but still Taiwanese students surprise us year after year
Breaking the boundaries of the earth   •  Dr. Harrison Schmitt went to moon with Apollo 17 and came to SciFest 2009 to tell us about it
Breaking out from the comfort zone   •  Science must be taken out from the labs and chambers, and it must be enjoyable and concrete for kids and adults too!
