Science education in primary and secondary schools is particularly critical. Students need the opportunity to engage in science much earlier in their educational trajectory so that they develop an understanding of major concepts and are inspired to pursue STEM careers as they finish high school. The CEE Lab participates in a variety of outreach opportunities in and around LA and is always happy to host tours \u2013 please contact PI Kenkel if you would like to view our lab and\/or aquarium.<\/p>\n<p>Scroll to see more of the ways our Lab has been involved in science communication &#038; outreach efforts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n  \n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n            \n\n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--modal-image-gallery \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--modal-image-gallery\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n  <div class=\"inner-wrapper\">\n\n      <div class=\"text-container\">\n                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--section-title\">\n\n    \n  <h2>\n          K-12 Education\n      <\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div>\n      \n                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--description\">\n\n    \n  <p>Gradeschool is a critical time to teach children essential scientific concepts and encourage exploration of STEM careers.
