October 1998 Education Outreach Workshop
In October 1998 the MRL hosted the first workshop on Educational Outreach in
NSF Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers and Science and
Technology Centers. The workshop was attended by over 75 participants from
across the country, including MRSEC directors and outreach coordinators,
university science faculty, high school and community college teachers,
and students. During the two day workshop, participants from a variety of
disciplines were asked to summarize current issues in science education
including presenting science to the wider community, engaging student interest
in investigation, building partnerships with K-12 schools, creating resources
for educational outreach and program evaluation.
