Geoscientist Outreach Initiative (GO-In)
Does the public understand your work and its relevance?
The American Geosciences Institute (AGI) offers a new professional development opportunity for geoscientists and other geoscience professionals interested in connecting with non-technical audiences. The Geoscientist Outreach Initiative (GO-In) provides geoscience professionals with the tools and confidence to create and facilitate meaningful experiences with students in grades K-12 and the general public through hands-on activities that are aligned with curriculum standards and use established educational techniques.
The GO-In makes use of AGI’s extensive experience in curriculum development, designing outreach programs, and working with scientists to create engaging experiences.
Why GO-In?
Through directly engaging with students and the public, GO-In participants will:
-
Highlight scientists as trustworthy individuals and “real” people
-
Inspire the next generation of geoscientists
-
Increase scientific literacy throughout the public
-
Highlight the relevance of the work they do as a geoscience professional
