2011/12 Hooked on Science School Program
“Science Guy” Jason Lindsey visits hundreds of
schools each year inspiring kids to be inquisitive
about the world around them and to develop a
long-term interest in science. Last school year,
Hooked on Science exposed more than 75,000

science program increases student knowledge
of science, increases student interest in science,
and increases student attitude that science is
“fun.”
