Science show Hoe’Zo! Show back into theatre thanks to grants
The Hoe'Zo! Show by earth scientist Lennart de Groot (UU) and neuroscientist Barbara Braams (VU Amsterdam) receives an ENW Communication Initiative Award. In the theatre show, young researchers answer questions from curious children live on stage. The ¤10,000 prize money comes on top of an earlier award of ¤150,000 by the NWA Science Communication programme in early November. The funding secures the next two seasons of the game show. The project has three components: a teaching package for sixth grade, a science communication training course for PhD students and an interactive theatre show. The Hoe'Zo! Show is an initiative of Barbara Braams and Lennart de Groot, from VU University Amsterdam and Utrecht University respectively. Braams and De Groot both want to do something fun to make science more accessible.
