K-12 Outreach Activities
The MSLC's emphasis on interactive science provides the basis for our
outreach activities. The MSLC hosts tours of its facilities for visiting
K-12 students. Tours include physics and biology demonstrations and
visits to our Exhibit Hall with its hands-on physics demonstrations.
Programs for teachers are one segment of the MSLC's partnership with
the Center for Math, Science and Computer Education. The MSLC provides
the facilities for several summer programs for teachers jointly
sponsored by CMSCE, and plans to enhance this role in the future by
serving as a resource center for science teaching. The MSLC provides
an arena ideally suited to bringing University faculty together
with K-12 teachers, working toward making the transition between
precollege and college science teaching as seamless as possible.
