2 upcoming science-related service events: Set in the City and Cambridge School Projects

by Dudley Public Service

Hi everyone, Please see the message below about some great opportunities to do science outreach. Thanks! Janine >>>OUTREACH: SET IN THE CITY Satuday, April 28th Harvard, Cambridge campus The 4th annual "SET (Science, Engineering, Technology) in the City - A Day of Career Exploration for High School Girls" will take place on Saturday, April 28th, 2012. Approximately 200 high school girls will be coming to the BU Photonics Center that day for talks and a Science Information Bazaar before traveling to other venues for lunch and activities, and finally to the Museum of Science where the program will end with an OMNI show.**** ** ** I hope you'll consider volunteering at the event. We need help for the following –**** 1. A group of women graduate students to lead a 1-hour hands-on activity at Harvard from 1-2 pm. We have several activities but need activity leaders who can do a short presentation and lead the hands-on activities. Contact hollar(a)seas.harvard.edu if you are interested.**** 2. Host a table at the Science Information Bazaar that will take place from 10:30-11:30 AM in the Photonics Center at Boston University. Tables will be set up in the first and second floor rotunda areas and we invite you to bring in some demo, exhibit, poster or computer application to share with the girls. In past years, volunteers have made "elephant toothpaste" and bottle rockets with the students, brought in sea urchins, Van der Graaf generators and ultrasound machines. Other tables have offered students the opportunities to explore cool nano materials and experiment with Snap Circuits or Mobius bands. This is a wonderful opportunity to interact with girls in high school and share your enthusiasm for what you do.**** 3. Have lunch at Harvard with the girls from noon – 1 pm.**** This event is sponsored by the Boston Area Girls STEM Collaborative, which includes representatives from the following organizations and institutions: Boston University, Emmanuel College, Girls Scouts of Eastern MA, Harvard University, Boston Museum of Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Northeastern University, Science Club for Girls, Simmons College, TechBoston, UMass Boston, Wentworth Institute of Technology and WGBH.**** ** ** For more information about the program and to register as a volunteer, please visit our website: http://www.bu.edu/lernet/setinthecity/**** ** ** If you have any questions about the event, feel free to contact us at SETintheCity(a)gmail.com >>>OUTREACH: CAMBRIDGE SCHOOL PROJECTS Friday, May 25th, 9am-1pm On May 25, from 9-1 pm, SEAS will host the entire Cambridge 8th grade (400 students) as they present their science and engineering projects and tour Harvard labs. We need many volunteers for May 25, and also to visit schools for a half-day prior to May 25 to give students feedback and advice on their projects.
