Bryant Elementary School is seeking Science Fair Mentors for Winter Quarter 2013!

Volunteer Opportunity:

Share your enthusiasm for science by serving as a
Science Fair mentor for students at Bryant Elementary School.
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 on March 28.

This is a fantastic leadership opportunity to guide a team
through a project with similar group dynamics of adult
research or work teams. Excellent communication skills
and some volunteer experiences with young people are desirable.

All mentors will attend an orientation which occurs at the beginning of the first session.

*Commitment*: 1.75 hours per week for 9 weeks
