Presenting geoscience research to K-12 students is a great way to provide science opportunities to underserved communities and demonstrate the possibility for careers in STEM. Plus, it is usually pretty fun.
In COVID times, I’ve been presenting to middle and high school audiences from the comfort of my home. They ask the toughest questions about climate change!
Some very fun/creative zoom pictures.
