Scientific Methods and Research Techniques (SMaRT) Program – Pod Member Recruitment!<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

This year we will be offering the program to 18 classrooms – as such, we have space for 18 pod leaders. Each pod visits the same classroom\u00a0four times throughout Jan-Apr 2017<\/strong>\u00a0and consists of one pod leader (grad student\/post doc) + 3-5 pod members (undergrads).<\/p>\n

\n

What will you do as a pod member?<\/strong>
\nTerm 1:\u00a0<\/strong>Attend 1 training session where you will meet your pod leader and other members of your pod.<\/p>\n

Term 2:\u00a0<\/strong>Work with your pod to plan your visits using a manual that outlines the experiments that you will facilitate and deliver four 1.5 hour activities to a Grade 5-7 class as a pod
