Cultivating a Science Culture – Extending Science Education through School-wide Science Events
Thursday November 7, 2024 8:30am - 9:20am EST
Salem 1C
This session will present the journey of a Title 1 school in extending students’ exposure to science despite limited budget and resources. Connecting students with scientists from local industries, science organizations, and state agencies ignites curiosity and inspires the next generation of young scientists through engaging presentations and hands-on activities. Aligning presenter topics closely with the NC SCOS for science integrates content knowledge with real-world applications of scientific concepts and practices.
