Everyday Science Poster

By: Ilanit Zada, Jennifer Mikhli, and Malka Niknamfard

The left-hand side of the poster represents the everyday informal science opportunities that initiate a spark for scientific learning in an adolescent. The umbrella represents the broad array of scientific interests that can appeal to an individual, as the field of science and technology is broad and much-encompassing. This spark can only be translated into a career in science via a formal, academic setting. The spark initiated due to informal science opportunities can materialize into a career that allows one to push the world of science along, in the event that it is followed up with a formal, educational setting. For example, fiddling around with electrical toys can translate into a career in electrical engineering with the correct schooling.
