This PowerPoint lecture tells real stories relating the excitement of science and nature study to young people. It also relates offering messages of science and science literacy to young peoples’ significant adults. The presenter uses his 20+ years of volunteer involvement with the public schools and other community organizations to focus on the childrens’ responses to science activities and programs such as school career days, science fairs, and evening family science nights, as well as public events about science and environment for children and adults, public events such as Rockville Science Day on the Montgomery College Rockville campus. This program relates 500 letters of correspondence from children to the presenter as feedback about his messages of science and environment. The good news and energy in the messages offered to the young people flows both ways, lifting up both the young people and the message carrier. This program is appropriate for any community organization serving young people, while utilizing volunteers, and focusing on science, nature, and environmental stewardship. |
