Re: Example of outreach to Students AESF should do...
[color="DarkGreen"]I found this intresting article and pic in our local paper. The plan for a new independant AESF henges on our ability to create an awareness and interest from students all the way from elementary school (like in this article) to college. Any ideas out there about how to get this going?

Wayne Wilson, with United Southern Industries Inc., teaches students at Rutherfordton Elementary School about having a career in plastics using engaging visual aids during Career Day at the school Tuesday morning. Local professionals ranging from firemen to doctors to a college professor shared examples of their work, their uniform, and valuable information about their jobs to help students develop career direction during the school's first ever Career Day.[/color]

Re: Example of outreach to Students AESF should do...
[color="DarkSlateBlue"]Here is another unique example of how to get young ones interested in the sciences. My 6 year old spent hours with it last night. I was very impressed.
From the Sept. 06 SMF Newsletter press releases
"PEEP and the Big Wide World," an animated series that gives wings to the innovative idea of teaching science to preschoolers, is the newest addition to The Learning Channel's and Discovery Kids' commercial-free and sponsor-free programming block, "Ready Set Learn!" Actress Joan Cusack narrates the show, which breaks new ground by teaching toddlers basic science concepts and skills like measuring, comparing and estimating. Young viewers follow a baby chicken named Peep, a robin named Chirp and a duck named Quack as the cartoon friends investigate mysterious animal tracks, discover shadows, learn the truths of gravity and otherwise explore their world. The program also has an accompanying Web site (www.peepandthebigwideworld.com) so that kids and their parents can keep experimenting long after the television is turned off.
