Science for Kids in a Two-Year College

Abstract
Two-year colleges have a strong history of community outreach programs. For 17 years, the North Campus of Broward Community College has invited local elementary school children to participate in a "Science for Kids" program. The program goals are to instill a sense of wonder and excitement towards science in our young visitors and to allow them to experience success in learning science. It also provides a strong connection with schools in the county and classifies as a recruitment activity - a great plus in the quest for funding! The success of this program has been duplicated in recent years by similar programs on BCC's two other campuses.
