Abstract:
From the 1950s to the digital age, Americans have pushed their children to live science-minded lives, cementing scientific discovery and youthful curiosity as inseparable ideals. In this multifaceted work, Rebecca Onion examines the rise of informal children's science education in the twentieth century, from home chemistry sets after World War I to the century-long boom in child-centred science museums.
