Bill Nye: Science Guy | Film Screening
Union Station
30 W Pershing Rd, Kansas City, MO 64108
USA
Bill Nye is a man on a mission: to stop the spread of anti-scientific thinking across the world. The former star of the popular kids show “Bill Nye The Science Guy” is now the CEO of The Planetary Society, an organization founded by Bill’s mentor Carl Sagan, where he’s launching a solar propelled spacecraft into the cosmos and advocating for the importance of science, research, and discovery in public life. With intimate and exclusive access —as well as plenty of wonder and whimsy — this behind-the-scenes portrait of Nye follows him as he takes off his Science Guy lab coat and takes on those who deny climate change, evolution, and a science-based world view.
Join KCPT, Union Station, the KC STEM Alliance and KC March for Science Festival for a free screening of the new documentary followed by a conversation with local scientists.
Prior to the screening there will be demo’s by Science City educators, as well as a Bill Nye photobooth.
Event is family-friendly and free with RSVP.
Bill Nye: Science Guy will air on the award-winning documentary series POV April 18 at 9 p.m. on KCPT.
