The National Weather Association is holding its annual conference in St. Louis this year, and it starts with WeatherReady Fest at the Saint Louis Science Center on Saturday, August 25. WeatherReady Fest is a free event for kids and families who might have interest in weather.
“I’m the National Weather Association’s first black president and my conference theme is Diversity, so I’m particularly interested in seeing our kids get involved in science,” said Alan Sealls, association president.
“The event is great for little kids, but it’s also excellent for middle and high school students who can network and interact with professional meteorologists from TV, academia, research, and private industry. Whether they might have an interest in stormchasing or forecasting, it’s all about exposing them to fields they might not otherwise consider.”
