Speaker

Constance Walter (Sanford Underground Research Facility)

Description

Our mission at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) is to advance world-leading science and inspire learning across generations. In this presentation, I will discuss the various ways in which we inspire learning, especially through public events and K-12 programming and how we work to make our activities accessible to a broader audience. I’ll touch on specific events that engage learners of all ages, how virtual reality and augmented reality can be used to expand our outreach efforts, and what is coming in the future for SURF.
