We are thrilled to announce our first #SciStuChat of the school year will be a collaboration with the US Department of Energy. With the help of NSTA (National Science Teachers Association) the DoE reached out and asked if we would be willing to co-host a Twitter chat about bio-energy on the #SciStuChat hashtag. We jumped at the chance to work with the Department of Energy and their wealth of resources and connections.
For those who are unfamiliar with #SciStuChat you can learn more at scistuchat.com but here are some of the basics. Sci = scientists. Stu = Students (high school). Chat = Twitter synchronous discussion using a hashtag. The discussions were first organized in 2011 and have continued once a month between Sept and May of the school year. Topics have covered Earth Science, ie, volcanoes, tornadoes, black holes. Life science ie, cloning, evolution, sharks. Physical science, ie, green chemistry and everything in between.
All high school students are invited to participate along with their science teachers. Science/STEM minded professionals ex, scientists, science writers, engineers, technology, mathematicians, and anyone with strong energy toward science and science education are also encouraged to join the discussion whether or not they are experts on the topic for that month. Science thinkers are all we really need.
The monthly discussion takes place on the 2nd Thursday of each month at 9 pm Eastern Time. The chat runs for an hour using the #scistuchat hashtag on Twitter. If you are not familiar with how to use a hashtag to facilitate a discussion or how to participate, check out the video below.
