From Ghost Hunts to Pseudoscience Fairs: How to Build Better Skeptics - Livestream

What happens when you turn ghost hunts and pseudoscience fairs into classroom assignments? In this talk, I’ll share how students test extraordinary claims firsthand, from running critical thinking demonstrations for high school audiences to tackling the CFIIG paranormal challenge and even going on an annual ghost hunt. Along the way, I’ll discuss why “critical thinking” is often defined too broadly, and show how hands-on skepticism can build sharper, more curious thinkers.
