The Purdue Impact Theory
About
The mission of the Purdue Impact Theory is to challenge how the world views science.
Our group of undergraduate students from nearly all science departments at Purdue provides a niche for rising scientists to communicate to the public what science means to them. Click here to learn more about us on our website (updated version coming in February 2019)!
We care most about communicating what scientists do; who they are; how scientific discovery works; what applications science has in the world; and most importantly, how we all can engage with science throughout our lives.
Our projects reflect our members' diverse interests. These include on-campus events, community outreach activities, college curriculum proposals, high school educator networking, high school student outreach, online resources for educators and students, and YouTube video series.
Members benefit from obtaining leadership roles; evaluating constructive criticism; communicating with their peers, community, educators, and school administrators; and finding their place in science education and outreach.
