Sent on behalf of the STEM Scholar Community & Honors in STEM student organization:
Dear Honors students,
The STEM Scholar Community and Honors in STEM organization are hosting an outreach event for high school students from East Hartford called the Reverse STEM Fair. Like a typical science fair, this event will consist of students showcasing a science project that others can walk around and see. Instead of high schoolers presenting to us, we decided to "reverse" it and have UConn students show off the wonderful and innovative projects to high school students.
Who: Calling all UConn students
What: To present an innovative and creative STEM project to high school students to inspire them to work in a STEM field.
Where: SU Ballroom
When: Thursday, November 10th from 4-6PM
Do you have a favorite childhood experiment you want to reproduce? Are you currently tinkering with something in your dorm room that is waiting to make its debut? Then this is the time to show it off! We are looking for individuals or groups from any STEM field to present at our Reverse STEM Fair. All that we ask is that part of your project is interactive, and that it can be understood by a high school audience. Amazon gift cards will be awarded to the winning projects!
If you want to learn more, please take a look at our informational presentation. The deadline to register to present at this event is FRIDAY OCTOBER 14TH by 11:59PM. The form for registration can be found here.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. (Contact information can be found in the Google Slides presentation.) We thank you in advance for your participation!
Sincerely,
STEM Scholar Executive Board & Honors in STEM Board
