Connecting with high school youth over science is important
to foster critical thinking skills and to demonstrate the possibilities science
brings to their futures. Let’s Talk Science is addressing this by offering
a number of science-related symposiums for high-school aged youth.
The symposiums are run through the Let’s Talk Science
Outreach sites by dedicated volunteers. Topics of the symposia range from the
national StemCell Talks events to symposia concerning our place in the
universe. Below is the listing of the
upcoming events geared for high school aged youth:
