Current Experts ScheduleBring real STEM experts right into your classroom
COSI's Experts programs are a great way to bring STEM into the classroom while sharing interesting careers with your students. Now we will also be helping you with your Federal Perkins dollars by letting you know when an Expert qualifies as “non-traditional.” You can search for this designation on our Experts web page. To bring up programs that qualify or simply look under the ‘Subjects’ heading on each program listing to see if the Expert is a non-traditional role model. Each hour long event begins with a 30-40 minute presentation by the Expert followed by questions taken from middle and high school students (unless specifically indicated as an elementary program). Each program also includes a ‘thought challenge’ to get your students thinking like the Expert.
