SUMMARY:Teen Science Cafe: Blocks and Codes
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Jessica Amsbary\, who will talk about STEM learning opportunity gaps and why starting STEM learning early is important. She will explain how STEM Innovation for Inclusion in Early Education Center (STEMIE) are planning to teach foundational computational thinking concepts to very young children with differing abilities by sharing a working draft they are developing focused on a series of activities for young children with “blocks and codes.”  \n\n\n\nAbout Jessica: Jessica Amsbary is a postdoctoral research scholar at the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. She is currently working on a project focused on engaging all young children\, early childhood professionals\, and families in STEM learning experiences. She specifically is working with some of her team members on adapting simple coding and computational thinking activities for young children with differing abilities. She received her Ph.D. in Applied Developmental Sciences and Special Education from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. \n\n\n\n*Please Note: The Zoom link will not be live until 5:00 p.m. If you’re having trouble accessing it\, please reload the page at 5:00 p.m. and try again.

SUMMARY:Teen Science Cafe: Searching for Earth 2.0 and other Worlds
DESCRIPTION:Is there another world out there suitable for humans? How are humans exploring space to find these worlds and how do they determine their viability? Chat more about these questions and more during a very special Teen Science Cafe with Charlotte Minsky.  \n\n\n\nAbout Charlotte: Charlotte is a recent graduate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology studying planetary science and the history of science. Her research focuses on extrasolar planets – planets orbiting stars outside our solar system – and how to find and characterize them so that we can better understand all planets and look for potential signs of life. Next year\, she will be pursuing an MPhil in the History and Philosophy of Science and Medicine at the University of Cambridge\, followed by a PhD in Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard University. \n\n\n\n*Please Note: The Zoom link will not be live until 5:00 p.m. If you’re having trouble accessing it\, please reload the page at 5:00 p.m. and try again.

SUMMARY:Teen Science Cafe | Bugs in Bugs
DESCRIPTION:This week we’ll be joined by Megan Damico for a discussion about BUGS! More specifically\, Megan will talk about how different factors – like diet and age – can influence the composition of insect gut microbiomes. Do you know what’s even cooler? She studies all of these things using honey bees!  \n\n\n\nAbout Megan:  Megan Damico is a third year PhD candidate in Environmental Health Sciences at UNC Greensboro. When she’s not studying\, she loves bird watching\, reading\, and hiking in the Appalachian Mountains. \n\n\n\n*Please Note: The Zoom link will not be live until 5:00 p.m. If you’re having trouble accessing it\, please reload the page at 5:00 p.m. and try again.
