Upcoming webinar: The women who helped drive 'The Magic School Bus'

From: The Center for Communicating Science

Seatbelts, everyone!

This Women’s History Month, we’re taking a field trip that will change the way you think about science, storytelling, and the creators behind one of the most beloved educational series of all time.

Whether you’re a scientist, teacher, student, parent, historian, or someone who still hums the theme song, this event is for you. We’re bringing together six leaders in children’s media: Cheryl Gotthelf, Jenny Lam, Yvette Kaplan, Kristin Laskas Martin, Jocelyn Stevenson, and Phoebe Yeh. The more, the merrier on this bus!

As Ms. Frizzle always said, “Take chances, make mistakes, get messy!” Join us in celebrating the real women who made the magic happen!

This event at 1 p.m. March 23 is co-sponsored by Radford University (School of Communication, Cinema and Screen Studies; Women’s and Gender Studies) and Virginia Tech (Department of Science, Technology, and Society; Department of History; Center for Communicating Science; Institute for Society, Culture and Environment; Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology; and the Women’s Center).
