About This Opportunity
Scientists & Engineers-in-the-Classroom presenter
Presentations are typically one hour in length and delivered to one classroom at a time. Teachers are always present to supervise their class as you interact with students to deliver your material.
While we offer presentations on grade 1 to 9 curriculum topics, historically most presentations were delivered to grades 2 to 6 as many of those teachers lack post-secondary science experience.
You can expect 5 to 10 hours of up front time as we help you to prepare your content. After you are ready, we coordinate all aspects of the promotion of the program and facilitate your scheduling with the teacher(s).
We ask that you commit to present two or three times per year to one or two classrooms each time.
Presentations are scheduled during regular school hours so you must have the ability to take time off from your employment as necessary.
