General Atomics Sciences Education Foundation (GASEF)

Welcome to Education Outreach


If you are interested in education outreach, but have no idea what to do next – then this document is for you!

First, thank you for your interest. Working with students and providing a means for them to interact with a real scientist or engineer (that’s you!) will be a memorable and possibly life changing experience for both you and the students.

So what do you do next? Well, there are many resources on the GASSSS page of the GA Sciences Education Foundation web site that will be your friends:  GASSSS

Step 1: If you want to learn about upcoming outreach opportunities, join the GA&A Education Outreach Teams site: General | GA&A Education Outreach | Microsoft Teams  Details of upcoming outreach opportunities are posted as they are received and there is a summary outreach calendar with all upcoming opportunities that is posted at: GA&A Outreach Calendar.xlsx

Step 2: If you are looking for more general opportunities, a variety of possibilities are listed in the Science Education Outreach Opportunities site. By contacting any of the organizations listed, you will find a wide range of possible activities to explore:  Science Education Outreach Opportunities

Step 3:If you want to see all the ways GA Scientists and Engineers have already done outreach through the GASSSS program, take a look at how over 1000 of your colleagues have had a rewarding outreach experience. So you have over 1000 examples of what can be done and over points of contact with whom to discuss their experiences:   GA Participants In GASSSS Program

Step 4: If you know of a teacher, school, or group that is looking for someone from industry to interact with educationally, then consider the GASSSS program. If you contribute your time in an activity, the  GASSSS program will reimburse you for material purchases of up to $500 and will also provide a charge number for up to 9 hours.  The application form is on the GASSSS site.

Step 5: If you want to see what types of formal presentations and activities have been presented by GA scientists and engineers via the GASSSS program, take a look here – and feel free to use these for yourself if you’d like:  GASSSS Presentations

Step 6: There are many other ideas for educational activities that you can use or adapt. Some well-known ones are listed here:  Curriculum Resources For Classroom Activities

Step 7: If you’d like to use materials that already are at GA and will be provided to you at no cost, take a look the materials shown here:  Educational Materials and Equipment Outreach

Step 8: There are many other educational resources that were developed by GA scientists and engineers that could be used for outreach. They are listed at:  Education Resources
