Part of our Science on Screen Series
The Fountain Theatre is proud to bring back Science on Screen® for another year of programming in 2026. Science on Screen® creatively pairs screenings of classic, cult, and documentary films with lively introductions by notable figures from the world of science, technology, and medicine. Science on Screen is supported by a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, with additional support from Rubin Anders Scientific, and Ken Loveday and Ellen Hoffman, Brookline.
This year we have four films paired with four outstanding presenters from our local community of New Mexico.
Our third movie is Radical
A teacher in a Mexican border town full of neglect, corruption, and violence, tries a radical new method to unlock his students' curiosity, potential—and maybe even their genius.
Our paired speaker is Melody Hagaman, an instructional designer with NMSU Global Campus and a former computer science educator with over a decade of experience in the classroom.
After Film Talk: The Science of Learning: Educational Innovation in the Borderlands
How are educators in the borderlands revolutionizing education? How do our brains learn best, and what does that have to do with you and our borderlands community? Gain insight into these fascinating questions as you learn about the innovators right next door, unique barriers in our community, and what we all can do to ensure that students of every age have access to the highest-quality learning experiences.
