“Bringing Science into K-12 Classrooms”- This workshop, for scientists and other STEM professionals, offers tips and best practices for presenting STEM topics to younger audiences.

On October 1, from 4:30-5:30 p.m., join Festival Board Member, Marti Canipe for “Bringing Science into K-12 Classrooms”. This workshop, for scientists and other STEM professionals, offers tips and best practices for presenting STEM topics to younger audiences. Sharing science with young learners is an important way to help encourage the next generation of STEM enthusiasts and professionals. However, it can be daunting to figure out how to accomplish this with a room full of K-12 students. As part of the workshop, participants will have an opportunity to apply new ideas to the STEM topic(s) they are passionate about sharing. Whether one is new to this or has years of experience presenting to K-12 students and teachers, there are always more ways to improve communication skills and methods.
