Speaking of Science K-12

The Speaking of Science (SoS) program by LA EPSCoR provides students in every type of school—urban and rural, poor and rich, public and private—exposure to the best researchers in Louisiana. The purpose is to increase public awareness of exciting research and development in Louisiana, spark the interest of students in STEM professions and showcase the excellence of Louisiana’s leading faculty and professionals.  Scientists are available free of charge to speak throughout Louisiana on a variety of topics at schools, libraries, museums and civic organizations.  Speaking of Science presentations are also available via Zoom where applicable.

Speaking of Science supports requests for:  single speakers, speakers for a STEM Day event (up to two), and single excursion speakers.  Requests must be submitted at least two weeks in advance to allow for scheduling and processing.  Fulfillment of your request is dependent upon funding and availability of speakers.  For questions, email louisianaepscor@laregents.edu.
