Science and The City with Alan Nursall

Comes to Access Learning

April 15, 2010

Larger-than-life science guy Alan Nursall takes science on the road and challenges YOU to learn in a hands-on rodeo of discovery. Alan has been working with Discovery Channel Canada and its nightly science news program Daily Planet since 1996, when he started the weekly segment called Discovery Challenge.   Since 2004, he has hosted Science and the City, in which he engages the public in sets of experiments designed to illustrate a basic scientific principle.  Science and the City shows up in malls, on the street, in parks, wherever people gather.  SATC has taken it to the streets in Toronto, New York, Montreal, Edmonton, Calgary, and Halifax and now you can get these ‘hands-on’ experiments at accesslearning.com.
