Classroom Presentations
Scientists & Engineers-in-the-Classroom
Our Classroom presentations connect students and teachers with individuals in science and engineering related fields. The presenters volunteer their time to provide fun, interactive presentations which add depth to the curriculum, give real life examples, stimulate student thinking, and enlighten students about many science related careers. Some of the scientists who volunteer their time, have set presentations that they like to deliver to your students; others will use their expertise in a given area to create a unique interactive presentation that can be individually modified to meet the needs of your class.
Please refer to the table below for a list of grade 1-9 curriculum topics our volunteer scientists and engineers can present on. If you have a special request let us know and we will do our best to meet your needs.
