To all the scientifically-inclined folks who want to get involved (and to our members in Longwood!)-- Want to donate a little bit of time and skills to science mentoring opportunities in the area? Here are a few science-related opportunities to those of you who might like to extend your expertise beyond the classroom and lab! Cheers, Dudley Public Service *Calls for volunteers* *1. Mentoring Opportunity: Science Clubs at the Amigos School* *2. Coach Science Olympiad at Cambridge Public Schools* *3. Mentorship, Teaching, and Outreach Opportunities with HPREP * -------------------------- *1. Mentoring Opportunity: Science Clubs at the Amigos School* Looking for Mentors to help direct Science Clubs at the Amigos School in Cambridge on Friday afternoons (calendar below). The Mentors co-teach the 12 girls in the class in one subject over 8 weeks. The curriculum is easy to follow nd everything is laid out for the Mentors to follow. They have 30 minutes before and after each club meeting to prep, clean and prepare for the next class. Therefore, there is no planning needed by the Mentors between club meetings. They strive for great attendance by the Mentors so that the girls can have consistent role models as teachers each week. They have clubs at Amigos for K, 1st Grade, 2/3rd graders; 4/5th graders. So four concurrent clubs running in four classrooms throughout the school. The clubs are free for the girls and the parents love the program - they get a lot of repeats each semester! They have a very high demand at Amigos and will have to turn many girls away - unfortunately they are short on Mentors and they really really hope to not cancel any clubs. If this sounds interesting to you, you can apply at https://goo.gl/forms/pGj3W6AbosZTWcSG3 Date Friday, September 28th Friday, October 5th Friday, October 12th Friday, October 19th Friday, October 26th* Friday, November 2nd Friday, November 9th Friday, November 16th Friday, November 30th or Saturday, December 1st *2. Science Olympiad at Cambridge Public Schools* Is engineering or Science your passion? Inspire and support young scientists at Cambridge Rindge and Latin School by joining our crew of Science Olympiad mentors this year. Events span a wide range of scientific domains including "Dynamic Planet," "Optics," "Circuit Lab," "Disease Detectives," and more! *What is the time commitment?* The volunteer commitment is for one weekly 60-90 minute session. Science Olympiad volunteers meet with 2 students at the school for 1.5 hours per week in the afternoon, between 2:30 and 5:00, Monday – Friday. You will arrange your schedule with the students. Resources are available on site that include practice tests, event descriptions, and computers. Volunteers may choose to assist on additional days and times. Contact Jennifer Fries at jfries(a)cpsd.us for more information. *3. Mentorship, Teaching, and Outreach Opportunities with HPREP * *Are you interested in mentoring, teaching, or outreach to Boston-area high school students? Volunteer with the Harvard Health Professions Recruitment and Exposure Program (HPREP)! HPREP is an outreach program hosted by Harvard to recruit high school students from underrepresented and disadvantaged backgrounds into science, medicine, and public health. Our goal is to use fun, hands-on lectures and labs paired with one-on-one mentoring to give students the excitement, confidence, and role models necessary for them to succeed in these fields. Sessions include topics like cancer biology, infectious diseases, neuroscience, health disparities, leadership, and more! HPREP will run on 10 Saturdays from November to February in TMEC on the Longwood Campus. If you are interested in mentoring students, teaching/developing lessons, labs, and workshops, or helping with program development and coordination, we would love to have you join our team! There are many roles to fill, some with very little time commitment and others with more. To hear more about this program and our AWESOME students, come to any of the following information sessions.
