Kindergarten students from Lafayette Elementary School had a special opportunity to visit CBS News 8 Meteorologist Heather Myers for “Heather with the Weather” as an extension of their “Wild About Weather” STEAM project.
The CBS Innovate 8 program introduced students to Heather and her work as a meteorologist. In this interactive program, students got an inside look into how meteorologists help us prepare for the weather and got to be meteorologists and forecast the weather. Students learned how Heather gathers data from multiple satellites and weather stations. Heather shared the magic behind the scenes by showing how the green screen effects work and students got to experience what it’s like behind the camera.This experience really resonated with the goals of the San Diego Unified STEAM Initiative which aims to prepare students for college, career, and life readiness and inspire them by sparking curiosity and career awareness at a young age.
