Engaging Latino Audiences in Out-of-School Programs about Science
Bruyere, Brett L.; Salazar, Guadalupe
Journal of Extension, v48 n3 Article 3RIB4 Jun 2010
Under-represented groups such as Latinos lack sufficient voice in important conversations about science topics. Yet we know that Latinos are under-represented in the profession. One path to careers in science is through early exposure during youth. This article describes research to identify how to engage Latino groups in science programs, such as Extension-sponsored youth programs. Based on focus groups with Latino parents in two communities, we examine interest levels, barriers to participation, and preferences for program formats. The results have implications for organizations that seek to engage more Latinos in their science programs.
