Room: ECCC KIDS! - ROOM 201
Start: 4:00PM
End: 4:55PM
The NASA Heliophysics Education and Public Outreach team has a variety of experience in getting kids interested in and excited about science and engineering, increasing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) literacy, and with careers in the science industry. The team will discuss ways of engaging children from all backgrounds in STEM and decreasing science-phobia. The team will highlight the programs they have run both inside and outside of schools and discuss why they were or weren't successful and how we try to make STEM fun. The team will give examples and ideas for getting kids involved in STEM activities at home and in your community. The team would also like to hear what others have found successful in their communities.
