Adelphi Lab For Kids: Amping up Physics Outreach for a Post-Pandemic World

POSTER

Abstract

We will discuss our Lab-for-Kids outreach program, where college students are tasked to go out to high schools in our region to teach fun science outreach lessons with high school students. In the 2024-2025 school year, we will attend 15 different high schools and one museum to provide fun hands-on lessons for physics. Participating in this project are 8+ undergraduate students who have a career interest in teaching physics at the high school level. We will provide survey results from the high school teachers of participating schools and the result of an external focus group with the undergraduate-teaching focused students.
