A parent forward this to me thinking folks might be interested. It looks like a great opportunity!
Here it is:
I am emailing you on behalf of the UNC Materials Research Society (MRS). We are hosting a Materials Research Day for high school students at UNC-CH on Saturday, June 18th from 11-3pm. We are particularly interested in reaching students that do not normally know or have experience about science outreach. Below are the details for the event.
The UNC Material Research Society (MRS) is hosting a Materials Research Day for high school students at UNC-CH on Saturday, June 18th from 11-3pm! Materials research is a particularly broad field, ranging from studying solar cells, to butterflies, mucus, soft robotics, and even invisibility.
We want to show students the diverse topics materials research can study and various opportunities to get involved in research while in high school, or once in college. Students will go on lab tours, discuss exciting research currently being pursued, do related demos, have a free pizza lunch, and talk about of paid fellowships or research opportunities for high school students and how to apply for them.
MRS is a graduate student organization with members from chemistry, physics, biochemistry, and applied physical sciences. We think that materials research is a particularly innovative and exciting new field of many different research disciplines, but often high school students do not know about materials research. By introducing students to the wide range of topics and demonstrating how to get involved, we hope to give students an opportunity to explore and find something they like.
We are really excited about this event and hope that you and your students are as well! If you have any questions about the event or MRS in general, please feel free to email me. Additionally, I, or another MRS member, would be happy to skype into your classroom to answer any questions or discuss it.
If you think this would be of interest to your students, please tell them about it and have them fill out the google doc so we know how many students are interested: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1D7uly-tc8dd7NDcVcafjXe2rBW-Bltwx4o-NbDuQPws/viewform
