With the Presenter Agreement, include a Program Form. Presenters should be asked to commit in writing to presenting at the fair, which days they can participate (if the fair is for more than one day), and that they should let you know at least a month in advance if they cannot attend. The Presenter Agreement should include venue, date and times for the fair. And hopefully, with more interaction misinformation can be dispelled, trust can be rebuilt, and an entire new generation of children will be inspired and excited to pursue their interests in science.Send out Presenter Agreement forms to the individuals and organizations that responded positively to your first letter. What started as a few connections, is now thousands of connections (and growing) each year.
But nonprofits like Skype A Scientist are embracing technology, connectivity and curiosity to literally bring science education anywhere, and to everyone. In recent months the nonprofit has set up Science After Hours, interactive trivia for adults and Skype A Scientist LIVE (via YouTube), where anyone can log in, submit questions and listen to scientists teach about the work that they do.Īs the Covid-19 pandemic goes into winter with us, traditional methods of learning and lecturing will continue to be disrupted. And, building and maintaining science conversations isn’t just for kids. The scientists involved have also created a strong presence online, including an active Twitter account with more than 22 thousand followers, where they and the public interact and share passions.īut the importance of opening up lines of communication extends far beyond social media and Skype sessions. In fact, to make science as assessible as possible, there are currently more than 14 languages offered, including American Sign Language. The form also allows for families and teachers to request matching with scientists based on everything from language spoken to race and gender – showing students that scientists look and sound just like them.
It’s as simple as filling in a Google form about what topic you’re interested in and the kind of scientist you’d like to request. McAnulty explained how the process works.
