Skeptic's Toolbox
Held every August since 1992, the Skeptic's Toolbox was formed by psychologist and now-retired University of Oregon professor Ray Hyman. The workshop, held over four days, focuses on making people into better critical thinkers by investigating a central theme. The attendees are broken up into groups and given tasks that they must work on together and present in front of the entire group on the last day. The Skeptic's Toolbox is sponsored by the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry.
==History==
Hyman created the Skeptic's Toolbox in 1989 to teach people how to be better skeptics. He tells James Underdown that "we were putting out more fires by skeptics than by believers... they were going overboard". The first toolbox was in Buffalo, NY with himself, James Alcock and Steve Shaw (now called Banachek).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cY4gdx-rPQY )〕 With the exception of one year when the toolbox was held in Boulder, Colorado, the toolbox has been held at the University of Oregon in Eugene.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgD4vS1zBNc&list=PL979600E006A2FFD0&index=2&feature=plpp_video )〕
In general, the faculty likes to keep the numbers at about 90 in order to give everyone personalized attention, and allow everyone the chance to participate. At the 1993 Toolbox, "More than a hundred people participated, from 19 states, Canada, and Hong Kong, and their enthusiasm continued to grow with each passing day, ending on the fifth day with what appeared to be a unanimous 'If only we had more time!'".〔
In 1997 ''Skeptical Inquirer Magazine'' announced that CFI would begin offering an academic certificate for students in a three-year program. Students needed to complete 30 units in academic work as well as in workshops. The two certificates offered were ''Humanistic Studies'' and ''Science and the Paranormal'', attending The Skeptic's Toolbox would satisfy one of the workshop requirements.
