Eanes PTO is already starting to work on next year’s science event early because we’re planning to make BIG changes. We are discussion holding the event during school hours instead of in the evening. The core idea is that presenters will each give a 20 minute presentation to about 25 students. Students would get to attend 4 presentations (probably determined by grade).
This format will serve more student (100% instead of just the ones who attend Science Night). It will also allow the presenters to provide more detailed and/or interactive instruction.
The challenges are that we’ll need many more presenters and volunteers. We also are looking for ways to keep the open house & social aspects of Science Night that the parents enjoy.
To help prepare, I’d to organize science volunteers on campus by grade level. If each grade has a science coordinator then that person could coordinate the science day program for their grade. They would also help their grade teachers with supply and lab requests. We’d still have a committee for the event and overall chair, but the grade coordinators would ensure that their grade’s logistics were handled.
I’m planning to hold a meeting to discuss this after spring break. If you are interested, please let me know. Feel free to comment with questions, suggestions, and concerns.
