What is an EYH-GROW Ambassador and how do I apply?
As an EYH-GROW Ambassador, you will learn valuable leadership skills as you:
- Encourage your friends to attend the EYH Conference in 2009.
- Share the EYH website (http://eyh.ucsc.edu) with your teachers and encourage them to use GROW presenters in their classrooms.
- Host the GROW presenters who come to your school to give a workshop.
- Develop science activity kits with undergraduate and graduate students at UC Santa Cruz. These kits may be used by GROW presenters.
As our way of saying thanks, we invite you to participate in hands-on lab and field activities with science professionals or graduate and undergraduate students.
- Supper with Scientists at Seagate: Visit the "clean room" lab at the Disk Drive facility in Scotts Valley and talk with female scientists and engineers over supper.
- S. Capadesâ into Personal Care: An exciting daylong workshop where you will create non-petroleum based body lotions (to keep!)
