Abstract: Abstract The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) Science Education Center (SEC) and its partners, Southern University and A&M College (SUBR) and the San Francisco Exploratorium, have created an excellent statewide educational and informational resource to promote scientific learning and understanding in Louisiana and beyond. A vital component of the partnership is its Docent Training Program. The partnership trains undergraduate science, technology, engineering, education, and mathematics students enrolled at SUBR as Docents, leaders who facilitate the LIGO SEC experience for K-12+ learners. In this COVID-19 era, the training focuses on innovative strategies to continue training students to be career-ready amid a pandemic.
