The Science Journal for Kids, with Tanya Dimitrova The K12 Engineering Education Podcast

Do scientific research articles sometimes sound like another language? To K-12
students, very often it's yes. Tanya Dimitrova tried to help solve this problem
by founding the Scientific Journal for Kids, where her team of writers,
designers, and teachers translates articles from scientific research journals
into more kid-friendly language. Tanya talks about how her time as a science
teacher in Central Texas influenced her to found this nonprofit, and then
explains all the details that go into collaborating with scientists to make
their work more accessible. Related to this episode: • Science Journal for Kids
