When creating science communication content, youth are often seen as the “low hanging fruit”. While they may be one of the easiest audiences to access, they are, in reality, one of the most challenging groups to engage well. Research shows that having positive interactions with role models from an early age can shape academic and career goals, so science engagement with this high stakes group needs to be done well. This workshop explored some ways to effectively engage youth in formal (school) and informal (community) settings and build a roadmap to engage youth at their level.
