One of the best thing going in the Division of Natural Science & Mathematics is the outreach program created and directed by Lori Shimoda. Since 2009, more than 1900 students, faculty and division staff have brought biology, chemistry, forensics, and environmental science to dozens of public schools and more than 20,000 students in Hawai’i.
From the IAS STEM website:
“I Am A Scientist STEM” is a mobile outreach program that shares our labs beyond the Chaminade University campus. Our services are FREE to Hawaii DOE schools. IAS STEM is part of a broader initiative by the Division of Natural Sciences & Mathematics at Chaminade University to encourage science awareness and education in Hawaii’s public schools.
My modest contribution to this wonderful program has been to create and manage the website, iamascientiststem.org/ .
Congratulations to Lori for ten years of success with I am a scientist STEM!
