The SMaRT program is a joint-initiative between Let’s Talk Science and UBC Community Learning Initiative (CLI). Our aim is to enrich the scientific knowledge of Grade 5-7 elementary school students in East Vancouver schools by taking the lead on facilitating fun and engaging science experiments that complement their grade-specific science curriculums<\/p>\n
This year we will be offering the program to 18 classrooms – as such, we have space for 18\u00a0pod\u00a0leaders. Each\u00a0pod\u00a0visits the same classroom\u00a04 TIMES throughout Jan-Apr 2019<\/strong>\u00a0and consists of one\u00a0pod\u00a0leader (grad student\/post doc) + 3-5\u00a0pod\u00a0members (undergrads).<\/p>\n We are currently looking to recruit\u00a0graduate students or post-docs<\/strong>as pod leaders.<\/p>\n What will you do as a\u00a0pod\u00a0leader?<\/strong> Term 2:\u00a0<\/strong>Schedule class visits with the teacher.
