Seth Purcell on modern science museums:
But now more than ever in history, kids need a break from the screens that all too many of them are sadly often plugged into by default, and connection to the real world instead.
These days most science outreach seems a pavlovian training to regard as boring anything that's not a game, dismiss learning as a burden if it takes effort, and reduce science to instagrammable media to scroll through while in line at the mall.
