Science Communication for the Next Generation

Session ID#: 159836

Session Description:
AGU has all types of science communication programs for peers, but not for the next generation of upcoming scientists. Sharing science research with students from middle and high school is critical to getting students interested in science and helping them see themselves as scientists. The goal of this poster session is to provide examples of opportunities for AGU members to share their research with teens through science cafés or other innovative programs. Teen science café programs engage students about the issues in science and technology that affect their lives. By sharing these science communication programs with AGU members, it will educate them on opportunities that will enable them to create the next generation of scientists and researchers.
