Colorless green screens zoom enthusiastically: Engaging children in virtual outreach

Erika Exton (HESP), Kathleen Oppenheimer (HESP), Lauren Salig (NACS), and Craig Thorburn (LING)

With in-person outreach events postponed indefinitely, the outreach committee creatively redesigned our outreach demonstrations to be interactive Zoom presentations. In this LSLT, they’ll tell us about their virtual outreach efforts and walk us through the process they used to convert our short, science fair demos into longer, classroom activities. They’ll demonstrate how they took one of our classic demonstrations, Bilingual Barnyard, and expanded it to include a lesson on phonotactic constraints, all while keeping it exciting and fun for fourth graders. They’re looking forward to sharing lessons learned about making in-depth outreach presentations, showing you what they’ve been working on, and getting feedback from the language science community.
