Free Town Hall Meetings on Climate Change

Free Town Hall Meetings on Climate Change



Feb 2007 - Teachers, 
students, scientists, science-center professionals, business 
leaders, policymakers, and the general public are invited to 
attend a town hall meeting on Communicating and Learning About 
Global Climate Change offered by the American Association for 
the Advancement of Science, AAAS, at its annual meeting. 
The town hall meeting takes place Sunday, February 18 from 
1:15 to 5:30 pm at the Hilton San Francisco, Ballroom Level 
Continental Ballroom 4-6. 
It features top climate experts and will include a 
demonstration of the Wedge Game, a hands-on strategy for 
explaining the impacts of different strategies for reducing 
greenhouse gases. Registration for this free event is required 
either in advance or on-site. 
AAAS is partnering with Bay Area museums, universities and 
others to host Family Science Days Saturday and Sunday, a free 
series of events with hands-on activities and stage shows for 
children and families also at the San Francisco Hilton. 
The program features Adam and Jamie from the popular 
television show Mythbusters on the Discovery Channel; Billinda 
the Robot Dog; how to make robots at home; authors of science 
books for children; and demonstrations such as how the same 
vegetable oil used to make French fries can be transformed 
into biodiesel fuel. 
The Kinetic City team from AAAS will unveil its brand new 
Science Gym - a duffel bag full of science activities. Science 
Gym combines physical education with science learning using 
jumping, running, and dancing activities that boost both pulse 
rates and science IQ. Young volunteers from the audience will 
demonstrate the games and win prizes.
