Interactive Natural Science Park for kids!
WHY I'M DOING THIS
WHAT IT IS I'M DOING
SHORT ATTENTION SPAN SYNOPSIS.
Thank you all for taking the time to review our project. This campaign is for the creation of the Gateway Science Center, an insect/reptile themed Interactive Natural Science Park for kids. However, as you watch the videos that explain my vision you will realize that there is something much greater going on here. While insects and nature are my methods of choice, my vision is about the future we leave to the next generation. It is also, about leaving the next generation with the tools to make their world an even better place for their children, the tools to make better decisions than we have. That tool is science.
Recent events have made it very clear that that future is under threat. Not since the time of Galileo has there been a greater need to stand up for science, to stand up for that future the next generation deserves. Please join me in the fight for that future! Join me in making the world a better place!
The above are 3 videos I created to let you envision my vision. The first video is “WHY” I’m doing this and “why” I think this is so important. The second video is the whole concept in most of its details as I see it. The third one is short (4min) that is a rapid summary of the other two.
