Scientists and Innovators in the Schools
Greek Waiter Demonstration during a school visit
I have been visiting elementary and secondary schools for the past six years. During this time I gave more than 20 presentations and science demonstrations shows and met with almost 2000 students!
This volunteering opportunity came up through an amazing organization: Scientists and Innovators in the Schools (SIS). Scientists & Innovators in the Schools (SIS) is a program that helps address British Columbia’s need for more scientists, engineers technologists and technicians to promote students’ interest in these areas. Our goal is to inspire students with exciting, in-school presentations by real scientists. The program is offered to Grades K–12 everywhere in BC.
Every time I visit a school with a science presentation or a science demonstration show, I feel that I made a difference in the kids’ lives. You will be surprised to see how a few ours of your time and your passion for science can make a difference.
If you would like to learn more about it, e-mail me or contact the SIS.
