2012 Summer Workshops

STIC VI: featuring ALISON GOPNIK and CLIFFORD STOLL video talks

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17 - program starts at 7:00pm - doors open 6:00 
Always Free - Open to the Public 

The sixth and final Fall 2011 STIC event returns to where it started--with a reprise screening of Clifford Stoll's remarkable 2006 TED Talk entitled "18 minutes with an agile mind." The renowned astrophysicist, Klein bottle-maker and education reform contrarian talks about, well, lots of things. An engaging video worth watching again. (And again!)

Alison Gopnik offers fascinating insights from the latest in the science of early childhood learning in her 2011 TED Global 2011 talk "What do babies think?" Aided by cutting edge brain imaging technology and ingenious experiments, Doctor Gopnik reveals some amazing findings. (If the child is father to the man, then it might also be said, the baby is mother to the child--and an astonishingly aware, hyper-curious, working mother at that!)

Watch it for the first time or again with friends--and a curious-natured tribe of local youth--at the Art Outreach Gallery's next STIC event.

Best-selling author and New York Times columnist, David Brooks, offers some choice insights on human nature in his "the social animal" talk from TED 2009.
