GWISH Community & Youth Outreach
It is imperative to our mission to be involved in our community in order to encourage and nurture future scientists. Below you'll find our upcoming, ongoing, and past community and youth outreach efforts. If you have any questions, or to get involved, please contact our Outreach Coordinator, Manya Singh
HCAP's Hā Initiative
Our partnership with HCAP's Hā initiative is looking for virtual presenters for fall and winter!
The ideal presentation would be:
Topics! (We are looking for one presenter per month)
ALSO: This program is focusing on chemistry and physics in January, and would love to do an in-person (or virtual, if conditions do not improve) tour of a physics or chemistry lab! They would like to see some cool equipment, or other cool visuals (microscope pictures, etc.). If anyone is interested, our Outreach Coordinator, Manya, can help with the process of trying to get administrative approval for an in-person visit. She can also help with filming during a virtual tour.
If you are interested in this outreach opportunity or want more information, email our Outreach Coordinator, Manya, at msingh@hawaii.edu
The ideal presentation would be:
- 30-40 min total, with a 15-20 min presentation, a cool video or photo series, + Q&A
- Interactive and 'scaled' (first half more accessible to 2nd-5th graders and second half more advanced for full group 2nd-8th graders)
- Given on a weekday virtually, either 2-3 PM, 3:30-4:30 PM, 4-5 PM
Topics! (We are looking for one presenter per month)
- October is Experimental Design: how to design experiments, control variables
- November/December is Gravity and Potential Energy: relationships between gravity and types of energy, energy absorption, structural design
