Inquiry In Action: The Kids' Inquiry Conference |
|
| The Kids' Inquiry Conference (KIC) grew out of ESIP teachers' interest in finding an alternative to the standard science fair. In place of the competitive model emphasized in the science fair, KIC is patterned after professional science conferences. The main goals of the student conference are to provide children with opportunities to share the excitement of their discoveries with students from different schools, to critically consider the credibility of their own research, and to draw upon the discoveries of other student-scientists. We hope that this concept -- children sharing authentic science in a non-competitive and supportive atmosphere -- will be stretched and modified to suit the needs of many student-scientists and their teachers. |  |
