Visiting Engineers Virtually The K12 Engineering Education Podcast

How can teachers expose their students to more engineering role models? What do
they do if they don't have time to arrange visits and field trips? That's where
Sarah McAnulty comes in. Sarah is a biology PhD student who also recently
started Skype a Scientist, which is a free program to match scientists and
engineers with K-12 classrooms. Sarah spoke with us about how the program helps
more students get authentic interactions with STEM professionals. Mentioned in
