051 | How Universities Can Better Engage K-12 Students Through Community Outreach | with Jamie Shuda of BioEYES
from Learning Unboxed · host Annalies Corbin & NOVA Media
Today we’re talking about a critical piece of the educational landscape that we haven’t really touched on in previous episodes: how university faculty can leverage their expertise to craft programming that gives back to students and the local community (and, inversely, how teachers can bring effective college programs and faculty into their classrooms).And our guest today has been bridging that gap since 2002. Jamie Shuda is a former elementary school teacher who now serves as the Director of Outreach and Education for the Institute for Regenerative Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. The flagship program for her outreach is BioEYES, a K-12 science education program that aims to foster enthusiasm for science by offering students opportunities to explore life science through real-world applications using a hands-on approach to learning.Over 175,000 students have participated in BioEYES since 2002 — but Jamie is just getting started, and we know that there are other university programs around the country that could make a tremendous impact on their communities with her insight.To learn more, visit: pastfoundation.orgResources:www.bioeyes.orgFacebook: www.facebook.com/bioeyesInstagram: www.instagram.com/bioeyesLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-shuda-edd-2640aa17Learning Unboxed is produced in part by Crate MediaRecorded by Eric French at WOSU Studios in Columbus, Ohio
