Why Science Feels Boring at School (But Isn’t) with Ella Wingate
Is science actually boring… or is it just the way it’s taught? This week, Finn and Kai are joined by Ella Wingate to chat about what science is really like in school, why so many students lose interest, and what’s missing from the classroom. From limited subject choice to lack of real-world experiences, we get honest about why science doesn’t click for everyone.
