<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">My name is Elly Yoder and I’m the president of Scientific Thinkers. Scientific Thinkers is a student organization and volunteer program here at OSU. Through this organization,
volunteers have the opportunity to travel to local elementary schools and engage students with fun, interactive science lessons. The schools in which we serve are comprised largely of underrepresented minority students in STEM. Scientific Thinkers gives volunteers
the chance to gain leadership skills, communicate science topics to a variety of age groups, and excite young children about STEM! </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">We will visit two schools this semester - Parkmoor and Mansion Day. Our visits to Mansion Day will take place on Wednesdays from 3:30pm-5:30pm from January 31-March 6. Our
visits to Parkmoor will take place once a month on Wednesday from 10:15-12:15. Please note, the dates and times are still being confirmed with Parkmoor. All times
<span style="background:white">include travel times to and from campus. </span></span><o:p></o:p></p>

orientation but are still interested in the club, they can contact me at <a href="mailto:yoder.459@osu.edu">
