Applications for the Community Science and Teaching Fellowships due February 16th, 2009

Wed, 07 Jan 2009 21:33:02 +0000

Hi Everyone! It's time for the 2009 fellowship application process! We had an amazing group of fellows last year, and we have high expectations for this year! I've pasted a blurb below:

The Saint Louis Science Center is dedicated to its mission to spark interest in science, technology, engineering, and math, especially in communities of need. In our ongoing partnerships and collaborations throughout the Saint Louis community, we have come to realize the importance of individuals with a passion and vision for quality educational programming.

The Community Science and Teaching Fellowship was established to provide individuals who wish to exist at the forefront of science education and outreach in relation to population needs and community issues with an opportunity to explore their interests in public education, museum philanthropic efforts, public and social policy, youth development, and science outreach advocacy. The fellowship program concentrates on these areas of informal science education as they impact on problems of our communities and is intended to address rising issues in science education inequity.

I've decided to start showing all of our blog readers what the YES Program really LOOKS like.

So here are a few photos from this week's "break time" during lab:

With Tim. I hope you actually put a quarter in.

The best summer ever....

Sat, 07 Jun 2008 01:31:42 +0000

starts on Monday. I can't wait for the teens to start- this year we have 250 (at least) teens in the YES program! We have a lot of really exciting projects going on this summer- the fellowship, the new off-site community partner sites, and the amazing roster that Summertime Science has booked (just to name a few).

Stay Tuned!
