From Astrobiology to Zoology: Igniting Students’ Interests in Science Careers |
During this half-day symposium, Sally Ride Science scientists and education specialists
talked to the audience about the wide variety of STEM careers available, the many
paths to becoming a scientist, and the vibrant men and women involved in science
today. The presenters also performed activities that enhanced the participants'
knowledge about science careers and served as models for activities the teachers
could do with their students in the classroom. The program was designed for teachers
of grades 6-9. All participants received educational materials from Sally Ride Science,
including a book and an educational poster focusing on science careers.
This symposium was held at the NSTA Area Conference on Science Education in Detroit,
MI. Sally Ride Science is a science content company dedicated to supporting girls’
and boys’ interests in science, math and technology.
