Science fairs, clubs, and talent searches are familiar fixtures
in American education, yet little is known about why they began and
grew in popularity. In Science Education and Citizenship, Sevan G.
Terzian traces the civic purposes of these extracurricular programs
for youth over four decades in the early to mid-twentieth century.
He argues that Americans' mobilization for World War Two reoriented
these educational activities from scientific literacy to national
defense -- a shift that persisted in the ensuing atomic age and has
left a lasting legacy in American science education.
