Bryant Science Fair Mentor- Volunteer Opportunity- Jan-March 2009
Share your enthusiasm for science by serving as a Science Fair mentor for students at Bryant Elementary School located in NE Seattle near the University of Washington .
Mentors work with a group of 4-5 students, (4th and 5th graders) to design and carry out their scientific investigations. The role of the mentor is to ask questions and guide the group in its student-driven investigation. The mentor brings ideas and perspective to aid students in the development of manageable scientific experiments and interpretation of results. With guidance from the mentor, students prepare posters displaying their results and conclusions which will be exhibited at the Science Fair Poster Exhibition.
This is a fantastic leadership opportunity to lead a team through a project with similar group dynamics of adult research or work teams.
There will be an orientation in early January ( tba) for all Science Fair Mentors led by our Science Fair Coordinator, Lizbeth Seebacher. The Science Fair Coordinator, Bryant 4th/5th grade teachers and parent volunteers provide additional support to our Science Fair Mentors.
