The Modules in Ecology and Evolution Development program (MEED) with Let’s Talk Science is looking for graduate student or post-doc volunteers to present one-hour ecology and/or evolution modules

(lessons) related to their own research to K-12 students! 

This program runs from October to March and brings together K-12 educators and researchers for science outreach to classrooms. You will be paired with one teacher from any grade level (K-12) you are comfortable with and together you will discuss the module that you wish to present to the students. 

The total time commitment is 10 to 20 hours over the school year and

includes:

1. Thursday, October 26th 6:00 – 8:00 PM: Orientation and instructional training (Workshop 1) 2. November: Teacher pairings and meetings to discuss module ideas (group workshop or one-on-one – TBD) 3. November – January: creation of your module 4. Late January: Check-in and feedback session regarding your modules with all MEED participants and enhancement advice (Workshop 2).

5. February – March: Go into the classroom and present your module!
