We at UBC Let’s Talk Science are recruiting pod leaders for the SMaRT Program 2021-22 term 2. Note: this year all visits will be a combination of virtual and in-person, unless things change.

What is SMaRT?

The UBC-Community Learning Initiative and Let’s Talk Science have teamed up to bring UBC graduate and undergraduate students into elementary school classrooms to deliver hands-on science activities designed for grade 5 – 7 directly relating to their curriculum.

Purpose

Enrich the scientific knowledge of elementary school students and begin an understanding of scientific method.

Program Description

UBC students deliver four* 1-1.5 hour virtual science lessons to Grade 5-7 classes (4/5 split classes may participate) between January and April 2022.

* PharmCSL student pods will deliver five virtual 1-1.5 hour lessons (more information during the orientation session)

What is your role as a pod leader (Grad student)?

As a pod leader you will lead a group of 4-5 undergrads and conduct virtual sessions  to deliver science activities related to the curriculum of elementary school kids (grades 5-7). We will reach schools in East Vancouver.

Additionally, you could help us convert our activities to a virtual format.
