Mini Med School
Come learn about the human body in the PNC Learning Lab this month!
Experiments in Expression
Word are only part of our story! Communication is more than WHAT we say—it’s HOW we say it. Experiments in Expression shows us how emotions, gestures, and vocal expression work together to shape how we say words in communication. Investigate the role of feelings & body language by pairing various emotions with a single sentence. How can the same words take on completely different meanings? Come find out in this interactive activity, highlighting the science of LANGUAGE & LINGUISTICS!
