Coaching Science
Scrolling through my ACS Matters newsletter, I came across an interesting program I hadn't seen before:
The ACS Science Coach Program.
Participants in the program volunteer with a local elementary, middle, or high school, visiting at least six (6)
times, helping to plan labs and mentor young scientists. ACS even chips in a small grant ($500) to support the effort. Sounds like a cool program to me!
Just one question: Do you suppose the admins ever read the #ChemCoach carnival? [crosses fingers]
Update: Apparently, this dates back to pre-2011, so perhaps *I* subconsciously used *their* idea!
