Why is Science Education Important Now?

The world is facing significant challenges that affect everyone. Two of these challenges are the overload of information we handle daily, and the ecocrisis that affects both nature and our well-being. These challenges require new approaches to learning. We need to teach children critical thinking skills and positive attitudes towards nature and our planet.
