Outreach in the Cayman Islands

Post by [whrudey] »

Although we do not have a program along the lines of CBSAP, we, the University College of the Cayman Islands, do provide Observatory tours for school students of all ages and groups such as service clubs, etc. Our focus is on Solar Imaging so we can do demonstrations during the day.

One program that I'm particularly proud of is our Annual STEM Conference which we've done for some 4 years now. Recognizing that STEM topics are often neglected in the Western school systems, we developed our Conference using both local and International speakers. Our next one is scheduled for October the 11th through to the 14th. It will feature such speakers as David Lavery from NASA on the Robotics of the Mars Curiosity Rover, Proxima b by Ed Guinan who was on the team which made the discovery, and Geospatial Technology by Algert Sarvis from Harrisburg University. Other topics include CSI, Solid Waste Management, Nuclear Power in the Caribbean, Mental Health, Zika virus, etc.

Student winners from the recent Rotary Central Science Fair will not only display their projects but, will also give a plenary presentation. Demonstrations will be provided on Drones, Robotics, SeaPerch ROV's, Virtual Reality, and many other exciting and current topics.

For further details please see: http://www.stem.ky

This is our contribution to Science in the 21st Century.
