Remember grade school science fairs? Well, the Lab is taking that format and turning it on its head with volunteer researchers and STEM professionals presenting their work for evaluation by a team of middle school judges.
On the following dates, in coordination with Berkeley Lab's Early Career ERG, K-12 Programs, and the Community Resources for Science organization, we are looking for STEM and STEM-adjacent professionals to visit Middle Schools and present their 'science projects' for 8th grade students to view and judge.
More Details:
- This is an in-person event at Berkeley and Oakland Middle Schools,
- We will have 2, 3 hours sessions. Volunteers are welcome to join ONE of these sessions as the times overlap.
- Students will talk to 4 different presenters and take notes to help them judge the best 'science fair project'.
- Volunteers will need to travel to and from the middle school. Contact Elina D Rios at erios@lbl.gov if you need help with transportation or have any other questions.
- Contact Elina D Rios at erios@lbl.gov for a copy of a recording of the previous info sessions.
- Contact Corbin Shatto at cshatto@lbl.gov for any questions about the event
