Our Science Reporting for Kids portal got a makeover!




Have you had a chance to check out our Science News for Kids portal yet? We recently spiffed it up and made it easier to navigate, streamlining sections and updating content.

As a central location for science news for and about kids, this portal is an ideal destination for reporters writing for children, kids and their families. In addition to kid-friendly special feature stories and news releases, the portal provides links to informative and fun educational websites and games covering a broad array of science topics.

You can also find the latest kids stories featuring news from the journal Science, which is published by AAAS, the nonprofit science society.

We also send out a weekly e-mail highlighting features, stories and multimedia that's been posted to this portal. If you'd like to be added to the list, please send an e-mail to webmaster@eurekalert.org with the subject line "Add to Science Reporting for Kids E-mail" and your preferred e-mail address.

Easy as can be and you get the latest news for kids at your fingertips.
