Dear AWIS members and friends,
One of the goals of all AWIS chapters
is to work with girls in grades K-12 to help keep them interested in science
and to provide examples of women scientists for them to meet (so they can
see that all scientists aren't expected to look like Albert Einstein!).
If you are interested in giving JUST 1 HOUR of your time to
visit a school and talk about your work, perhaps even 3 hours to help run
a science activity for Middle School girls or help out during the upcoming
Cambridge Science festival...please email info@...
NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY, materials and
ideas can and will be provided. I can tell you from experience that
this is very rewarding and almost entirely fun. Take this opportunity
to give back to the next generation.
Joanne Kamens
President MASS AWIS
