What is SEE?
The
Society for Evolution Education (SEE)
is a membership organization which provides family programs,
secondary school tours, and adult lectures and seminars to help
people in the Greater Cincinnati area develop an understanding
of and an appreciation for the science of evolution.
SEE is committed to a
respectful dialogue among a broad spectrum of groups in the
Greater Cincinnati community. We collaborate with
scientists at Northern Kentucky University, the University of
Cincinnati, the Museum of Natural History, and the Krohn
Conservatory. We network with school and community groups
across the city in order to reach a diverse group of learners.
We offer introductory programs that help translate
scientific concepts into simple language that can be understood
by children, youth, and adults with no background in evolution
science. We offer advanced programs that refine the
understanding of more sophisticated learners. In every
program, the animals on the farm and the plants in our Evolution
Garden make concepts like natural selection easy to observe and
understand.
Goals for the 2007-2008 academic year are:
-
To develop partnerships with schools,
universities, museums, and other community groups in the
Greater Cincinnati area.
-
To bring at least ten groups of middle
and high school biology students to the farm for evolution
tours.
-
To reach at least one hundred adults
through programs in evolution science.
-
To reach at least one hundred children
through family evolution programs.

Founder
Dr. Frank Traina has owned and directed Sunrock Farm
for more than twenty-five years. Each year he has touched
the lives of more than 30,000 children and adults with programs
about ecology, farm science, and fossils.
In 2007, when surveys revealed that fewer that fifty
percent of Americans accepted the theory of evolution, Dr.Traina
became passionate about educating children, youth, and adults
about key concepts in the science of evolution. He founded
the Society for Evolution Education (SEE)
as the vehicle for supporting him in program development and
community outreach.
