Abstract
The recent introduction of aordable infrared (IR) cameras and IR imaging attachments for smartphones has provided a unique opportunity to enhance the education of K-12 students. We have acquired a number of dierent IR cameras and IR camera attachments and discuss the utilization of these devices in both a college course and in our STEM and STEAM outreach eorts. While our outreach eorts only allowed us to visit a classroom for just an hour or two at a time, support from a local IEEE Chapter allowed us to place IR cameras in the hands of teachers and students in these classrooms for several weeks at a time. This paper discusses the outreach eorts and the utilization of IR cameras by 5th grade elementary school students and their classroom teachers after our departure and the wild enthusiasm that this approach has generated. A comparison of the dierent IR systems is also made.
