Science Outreach

Science Outreach is a form of informal science education that consists of organized activities led by scientists or scientific institutions to engage people who are not professional researchers in learning about scientific knowledge, practices, and careers, typically outside standard curricular instruction, in order to enhance their understanding of, attitudes toward, and participation in science.
