I’m going to be speaking this Saturday at the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center as a part of the Ad Astra Kansas Initiative. The program is called the Galaxy Forum and is a part of an ongoing series of informational programs seeking to enrich science education in Kansas.
I am scheduled to talk about science (specifically astronomy, along with some physics.) education, and how to get students interested! This is truly quite a hard topic to cover as there is no “One Solution-Fits-All” answer, but from my own experience as an astronomy communicator/educator for 3 years, and the fact that I too am teenager (target audience), I should be able to provide helpful tips and information the teachers can use in their classrooms.
Right now, I am still working on the presentation and haven’t even gotten past slide 4 (I’ve been a bit picky about the layout 
) but everything should, will be done by Saturday. If any of you are availble please do come out! It will be worth it for the trip, as after the event you can spend sometime in the beautiful museum/planetarium/IMAX theatre, and then head out to the BIG star party!
