Thank you Diana & Juliet!

Science is very important in the 21st century

Nowadays, science is more appealing to adults than to young people as teenagers are more interested in their social lives. However, their future is going to be filled with technology that science made possible, so it is our job to make it more attainable for them.
First of all, one way to achieve our goal is by television programmes. This is because teenagers spend a lot of their time procrastinating in front of the TV and by making programmes in which science is used daily, they can learn without intending to.
Another means to attract young people is by making them participate in field trips to interactive museums as they become part of the exhibition and learn by playing.
Last but not least, school projects are a good way of integrating teenagers into science. In some countries, students have to make a science project of their choice and the winner is given a prize by the science department of the school. This way, students research about what they are keen on.
These ideas are only a few ways of getting teenagers interested in science. Now it is time we took matters into our own hands as science has become an essential part of our lives and young people will have to know how to use it in the future.
