Outreach & Teaching
Sharing climate science with K-12 students and the public, and helping build community around it.
Outreach
Family STEM Night: Making Clouds in a Bottle
Apr 2025 · Elementary school STEM night, Seattle, WA · Students and families
With the UW Atmospheric and Climate Science K-12 Outreach Committee, I ran a table of hands-on weather demos at a family STEM night. Kids pumped air into a jug to make their own cloud, explored why some liquids float on others, and looked at Earth from space in satellite images.
Where Does Our CO₂ Go? Carbon and the Ocean
Feb 2024 · University of Washington, Seattle · 4th–5th graders
When a group of elementary students visited the department, I taught them how the ocean absorbs carbon dioxide from factories and cars. Using a water jug and a color-changing pH indicator, we watched the water turn more acidic, then talked about what that means for shells, coral, and sea life.
