Make a Science Kit - Bring Science Programs to Underprivileged Kids
Jessica Yang, Allan Park
Mon Jan 30, 03-04:00pm, 4-153
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
Remember all the cool activities you did as a kid in science class? Or, maybe in school you didn’t get a chance to explore your passion for science. Across the nation standardized testing and budget cuts have put pressures on schools and teachers – and they’re squeezing quality science education as a result. As an MIT student, you’re in the perfect position to fight back!
Come hear about the issue and join the new student group Science Counts! in building quality, fun-to-teach science lessons for kids. We’ll tell you about teaching, show you how to design activities, and together transform your science topics of interest into complete science kits and actual curriculum. And if you're interested, come learn more about Science Counts! and how you can help underprivileged kids love science!
(And we'll make LN2 ice cream for refreshments.)
