High School Outreach Program
Radio Program
|
Education is the most important goal of the HSS. Since our
inception in 1996, we have invited numerous guest speakers to our
monthly seminars, to educate and inform members of our
community how science and technology have influenced our lives.
Particularly, seminars in the education, mathematics and
healthcare fields have provided ample opportunities for great
debates and lively discussions among HSS members and invited guests.
The HSS radio program, hosted by WMBR 88.1 FM every last
Sunday of the month, is a program designed to fulfill an important
aspect of our mission. The purpose of the radio program is to
create a platform where the community can participate in healthy
discussions on the challenging scientific problems of our time. Our
scientific discussions cover a wide variety of subject matters of
interest to the immediate community and to the public at large
such as: global warming, the environment, the origin and future of outer space and its interaction with
the solar system and planet Earth, energy distribution on Earth, the role of renewable energy in the world
economy etc… Within the last few years, our many radio programs have become an invaluable source of
reliable information and a forum for spirited scientific discussions to a growing audience in the
community.
In recent years, we have implemented a mathematic and science
educational program that focuses on the young men and women in
our communities. With so many problems and challenges affecting
our country and the world, we believe that it is imperative that we
inspire and encourage our children to think creatively, to develop
problem-solving skills and to peruse careers in the scientific and
technology fields.
