[Cbe-grads] STEM Outreach volunteer opportunity

[Bennett, Angela]

Hello!



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!



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 include travel times to and from campus.



If you are interested in volunteering, we have our orientation on Wednesday, January 24th at 7:00pm in the Physics Research Building Room 1080. If students cannot attend the orientation but are still interested in the club, they can contact me at yoder.459 at osu.edu<mailto:yoder.459 at osu.edu> or reach out to scientificthinkers at gmail.com<mailto:scientificthinkers at gmail.com>.

Thank you!



Best,

Elly
