Ideas worth spreading

Cosplay for Science and Community Empowerment

Gabriel Santos • TEDxSkyforest

What do you get when you mix young scientists with a global comic book conference? An emergent methodology that makes science - and scientists - more approachable, among other positive learning outcomes. Cosplay for Science Initiative co-founder, Gabe Santos, discusses the many ways that pop culture can uplift STEAM education (science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics) and empower communities...all while dressed as a Jedi Knight.
