K-12 teachers, students, families, and the community are invited to participate in a new virtual learning series.

We are introducing Grand Morsels, a virtual series communicating science concepts.  The name Grand Morsels was chosen to reflect our intent to break down (digest) large or difficult scientific topics into interesting and understandable bite-size morsels.

Each month, GVSU faculty from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) will be sharing their expertise in an interesting and practical manner with the theme of Science is Everywhere Around Us, hosted by the Regional Math and Science Center (RMSC).  The programs will be interactive with time for questions.

Presentations will take place once a month during the academic year, starting in January 2022. These presentations will be on Tuesday evenings and last approximately 45 minutes.

Join us for our first in the series on Tuesday, January 25, 2022 at 7:00pm.

Talking Through the Air: The Science of Wireless Communication presented by Dr. Len O'Kelly, GVSU School of Communications
This session will look at the evolution and science behind something we depend on every day: broadcast transmissions. This is a look into how we get radio, television, and other information beamed to our homes. Explore how radio communication happens: how the human voice is sent through the air and heard hundreds of miles away – sometimes further! Learn how the technology that made radio evolved into television, satellite, and cellular signals.

SCECHs are available beginning in February!  Educators will receive .75 SCECH for each session attended.

Register for the first session (to be held on Zoom) here.

Sessions coming in 2022 include presentations from faculty in chemistry, biology, and anthropology!
