From chemistry faculty member Dharshi Bopegedera (bopegedd@evergreen.edu):
“I am looking for a few student volunteers from M&M to do science with kids in the public library to celebrate National Chemistry Week.
- We are going to the Olympia Public Library on October 25th. We will be there from 2:30-5:30. We can provide transportation to and from the college.
- I will provide simple, hands on, lab activities for our students to conduct with K-12 kids.
- We usually get about 45-60 kids in the library.
The theme this year is “chemistry rocks”. Your students would be just perfect (even if they know very little of chemistry or geology!). From past experiences, this has been a rich experience for our students regardless of their age, class standing, or knowledge of science.
I will appreciate it very much if you would please announce to your class and ask your students to send me an email if they are interested.”
