Madison Area Technical College will refine and evaluate the effectiveness of Fusion Science Theater (FST), a combination of theater, science demonstrations, and participatory components, as an ISE teaching model, to test its transferability through development and trials of an exportable version (Science-in-a-Box), and to recruit appropriate partners nationally in preparation for a larger scale implementation and evaluation.A Fusion Science Theater event utilizes the collaborative effort of applied expertise in science, theater and education. These events support playful interactions as characters engage the emotions of the audience. The Act-It Out sequences invite children and parents to become involved in modeling scientific concepts, thus creating an environment where learning is the product of social interaction and kinesthetic, affective and interpersonal learning. To provide proof-of-concept that this a transferable model, an independent, interdisciplinary team from the University of Wisconsin, Madison Biotechnology Center will produce their own FST event that will be evaluated and compared to an existing FST program. The Madison Children''''s Museum will partner as a venue for the event and provide expertise in the planning process. The ultimate project resulting from this planning would include workshops to train collaborative teams from around the country in the principles and practices of FST, promotion of cross-disciplinary collaboration among professionals, and honing of an evaluation design for FST events. The trained teams would then produce FST events that reach children, their parents and the general public. The planning grant project design includes activities necessary to further test, verify and document Fusion Science Theater events. It provides a proof of concept of model effectiveness and transferability. It also initiates, develops and assesses ways to train other groups to implement the model and publicizes the model to national professional networks to spread the work and recruit site teams.

麦迪逊地区技术学院将完善和评估融合科学剧场（FST）的有效性，该剧场结合了剧场、科学演示和参与式组件，作为伊势教学模式，通过开发和试验可出口版本来测试其可转移性（Science-in-a-Box），并在全国范围内招募适当的合作伙伴，为更大规模的实施和评估做准备。在科学、戏剧和教育方面的应用专业知识。这些活动支持有趣的互动，因为角色参与观众的情感。“行动出来”系列邀请儿童和家长参与建模科学概念，从而创造一个学习是社会互动和动觉，情感和人际学习的产物的环境。为了提供概念证明，这是一个可转移的模型，一个独立的，跨学科的团队从威斯康星州，麦迪逊生物技术中心的大学将产生自己的FST事件，将进行评估和比较，以现有的FST计划。麦迪逊儿童博物馆将作为此次活动的举办地，并在规划过程中提供专业知识。这一规划产生的最终项目将包括举办讲习班，培训来自全国各地的合作团队了解森林科学技术的原则和做法，促进专业人员之间的跨学科合作，以及完善森林科学技术活动的评估设计。然后，经过培训的小组将举办面向儿童、其父母和公众的森林和社区活动。规划补助金项目设计包括必要的活动，以进一步测试，验证和文件融合科学剧院的事件。它提供了模型有效性和可移植性的概念证明。它还发起、制定和评估培训其他团体实施该模式的方法，并向国家专业网络宣传该模式，以推广工作和招募现场工作队。
