Young Investigators Conference As
with all serious scientific endeavors, it is important to share results
and communicate with colleagues. With this as a goal, participants
in Science Firsthand (SF) were invited to take part in a “Young Investigators Conference”.
Held at the Buffalo Zoo on a Sunday afternoon in April, the event
brought over 170 people together from across the city – adult/youth
teams, community center personnel, family members, and the public
at large. It became a celebration of the participants’ investigatory
work and a showcase for what they had learned during their months
of firsthand inquiry. A youth director who had not been able to attend the Conference reported, “Casandra, Kaitly, Bizzy, Cheyane, my son Michael and his friend came back to the house reporting that they had a great time at the zoo. Michael said he really enjoyed the 'Science Convention' and watching the kids do their experiments. He said it was pretty cool.”
