Miss Elle to Miss's feed, Science in the long run, Science 2.0
Do any of you know anything about science outreach/science educator type positions? I'm a high school science teacher (degree in chemistry, picked the teaching cert. up after college) who thinks she'd be more useful as a science outreach educator. I have no idea how to make this happen, however, so I'm asking anyone I can come across.

I am sure you could make it happen but am not sure how you would get paid to do so. Start perhaps by talking with your local science museum, or a local college or university, who could have you coordinate a community outreach day to start? you'd have to build up some credibility in that role, so starting small is likely to be a good idea.

I'd get a list of Science Museums. The one here in St. Paul does a lot of education programs in house and outreach to the schools civic etc

Science museums, observatories, children's museums. Check their job listings frequently.
