Generation Skeptics is an inquiry-based program designed to get kids to think skeptically! Each lesson has a corresponding role card for your students to play. As they engage in the lesson, students should consider: “What role am I playing now? Am I the Scientist? The Skeptic? Or the Sleuth?” Students can play any role card during a lesson, or all three! See what lively discussions arise when students play different roles!

Our Mission:

Generation Skeptics aims to develop and foster an understanding of the world through inquiry-based learning. We provide materials to complement or enhance existing science and educational programs.

Our founders noticed a need to help students tackle a growing problem in society and the media — false claims and the harmful effects of pseudoscience. We want to empower students to think skeptically and engage in true scientific inquiry. Our activities make it easy for you to focus on what matters — helping students learn through inquiry and questioning!
