Science Giants

Science Giants (SG) provides Chicago public high school students with a meaningful and content-rich service learning opportunity as science exhibit facilitators in a variety of settings throughout the city. The program builds scientific literacy while fostering civic responsibility, public-speaking, and interpersonal skills. As Science Giants, students work with peers from all over the city and interact with a diverse audience of exhibit visitors of all ages, nationalities, professions, and levels of knowledge. As valued educators to whom the public at-large looks for information, they have the opportunity to step outside of their ordinary interactions, and begin to see themselves as involved and responsible citizens of their community.
