BASIS & Caminos de la Ciencia
Do you want to serve as a role model for Bay Area youth while working on effective science communication skills? If so, then consider joining LAGSES’s Bay Area Scientists in Schools (BASIS) team! Reach out to the outreach officer if you would like to participate.
LAGSES Buddies
The LAGSES Buddies program aims to provide support for incoming as well as current graduate students, and foster community among all students. We’re here to hang out, but also help discuss important parts of the grad school life and experience in an informal setting. Junior graduate students are paired with more senior graduate students to facilitate peer-to-peer mentorship. We are graduate students helping other graduate students.
BE A SCIENTIST
The Be a Scientist program, organized by the Community Resources for Science (CRS) Program, is in need of volunteers. This is an an exciting science outreach program for Berkeley middle schools in which you would guide 7th graders through the process of designing and conducting their own scientific investigations in class. This is also a wonderful opportunity for you to serve as a STEM role model while developing your communication skills and gaining hands-on experience in important science outreach. The upcoming session will be held at Willard Middle School (2425 Stuart St.) from March 10-April 29(spring break week is skipped).
