Science from the future

Young people from the Children of the 90’s project took part in a special Citizen Science summer school creating their own films to explore how they feel about scientific developments affecting the future. These young people took on the roles of producer, director, researcher, actors, interviewers and editors to develop short films with support from a range of media, film and science professionals.

Use these films with young people in your class to stimulate discussion about some of the topics that are presented. Or get your class to take on the roles of producer, director, researcher, actors, interviewers and editors to develop their own short film.

These short films can be viewed in their entirety or through Supernova - our digital tabloid format developed as part of the Electric December website.
