Little Shop of Physics

Abstract

The Little Shop of Physics program at Colorado State University has presented in-person and virtual programs to nearly one million K-12 students in the region and around the world. We've had an impact on the students we reach, but the impact on the members of the team—and our partners—is just as crucial. In this session, 5 members of the Little Shop team—at Colorado State and at a partner institution, Oglala Lakota College—will share stories about how taking part in informal science education as faculty, as students, and as K-12 educators has informed their experience. Please be sure, as well, to check out our hands-on science activities in the exhibit area.
