  1. COSM Education and Outreach:Where We Are Now Ken Cecire ken.cecire@hamptonu.edu

  2. Where We’ve Been • QuarkNet • Young Doctors • Support/incubation of E&O efforts • Outreach to Zambia

  3. Support for the National QuarkNet Program • PI support: • Keith Baker • Ken McFarlane • Staff support: • Ken Cecire • Outreach: • Univ of Puerto Rico • BNL/MARIACHI • Advocacy: • rural centers • underserved centers

  4. The Hampton University QuarkNet Center • Teachers from across the Commonwealth: • Fairfax • Richmond • Northern Neck • Hampton Roads • Meetings at: • Hampton University • Science Museum of Va (Richmond) • Local Schools

  5. The Hampton University QuarkNet Center • Continuing Initiatives: • Assist JLab TAPS program • Assist HU Young Doctors program • Cosmic Ray Detector • New Initiatives: • MARIACHI (BNL) • Collaboration with UMd

  6. Sample from COSM Summer 2005 Activities Information and Preference Form:Which of the activities below are you interested in participating in? Please rank-order …

  7. Hampton University Young Doctors Summer Science Camp • Middle school summer day camp in science • COSM teachers have participated since summer 2003 • Offer hands-on activities: • Physics of sports • Physics of toys • Fluid dynamics

  8. Jefferson Lab Teacher Academy in Physical Science (TAPS) • Program for Middle School science teachers • JLab Education Office • Presentations by COSM teachers and HU students • Topics include: • sports physics • radioactive decay

  9. Spinning Education, Outreach, and Research Together • Support for: • Student workshop at Univ of Puerto Rico • QuarkNet reunions: • SpacePart04 (12/04) • Brookhaven (1/05) • Clustering of UMd, BNL, Hampton QuarkNet centers • New MARIACHI initiative • PFC collaboration in E&O

  10. Dissemination • Physics Today article, September 2004 • AAPT Summer 2004 Meeting: Physics Education in Africa sessions • AAPT Winter 2006 Meeting: follow-on session • NSBP: video preview • Students…

  11. PFCs Collaborate! • Share ideas and experience • Professional growth • Dissemination

  12. Where We’re Headed • Increased involvement with Africa • New proposals • New collaboration • More hard science • Benefit rebound to Virginia and US

  13. In one of my first workshops with my Zambian colleagues, a teacher said, “Our students have too little opportunity and yours have too much.” I’m still thinking about the implications of that remark. -- Charles Tisdale, The Bolles School, Florida (formerly of Princess Anne High School, Virginia)

  14. Outreach to Africa: New Twists, New Growth • Zambia expedition 2004: • visit Columbia group in SA • increase workshops to 3 days • documentary film • Developments 2005: • MARIACHI/SHARE • involvement in SA • student summer in Zambia

  15. Seeing how my Zambian peers present the concepts without technology has helped me to see how I can use a mix of low technology and high technology labs to reach the students. -- Lewis Fowler, Centreville High School

  16. Workshop Developments • Workshops 3 days • more topical • foundational material • student talks • more Zambian • Student workshops (1/2 day) • 2005: stayovers in Lusaka and Monze District

  17. Having seen the need in Zambia, and being African, gives me a different perspective of science. -- Peter Muhoro, Hampton University physics student

  18. Because of COSM-Zambia, I see myself contributing to the scientific community on a global level…Zambia changed me. It gave me a deeper appreciation and understanding for the way we live as a society. -- Kristie Lee, Hampton University physics student

  19. How the Benefits Bounce Back • Experiences for: • COSM/QN teachers • HBCU physics students • Young physicists • Science: • Data acquisition • Collaboration • Application: • Minority students in US

  20. Having a basic concept of what life is like in other parts of the world has helped me understand some of my minority students better. -- Joseph Fehr, Centreville High School I have increased motivation to help persuade more minority students to take physics…I now have anecdotes from my experiences in Zambia to help them put things in perspective. -- Lewis Fowler, Centreville High School My time in Zambia gave me instant credibility with my one Zimbabwean student and her parents; particularly her father. -- Charles Merriam, Norfolk Academy
