We visit and bring in local libraries, daycares, and elementary schools among others and present interactive weather experiments designed to captivate younger audiences and spark a passion for weather. Most of the experiments we showcase are produced and created by our members! Our goal is simple: to show kids just how fascinating the weather can be! Through engaging demonstrations, mini-presentations, and Q&A sessions, we keep our young attendees excited, curious, and eager to learn. And because we know creativity fuels curiosity, we also incorporate arts and crafts, giving kids the chance to create something special to take home—an experience they won’t forget and a cool craft to show their families.
At WOE, we’re not just about events. We offer plenty of ways for our members to get involved, even if public presentations aren’t their thing. This semester, we’re launching some new creative projects, including video production and design opportunities for our social media platforms. Our “WOE Wednesdays” social media takeovers will feature short, engaging weather-related videos every week that we’re hopeful will produce the same outcome as our in-person events: a fun and educational chance to learn. Plus, we're updating content for the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences' notable prospective student event, EMEX, where our members will have the chance to contribute in exciting new ways.
Whether you’re passionate about weather, science communication, or just want to be part of a fun, enthusiastic community, WOE has something for you.
