3 Upcoming Outreach Opportunities

[Gaps]

Hello GAPS,

We have three upcoming outreach opportunities, please read and sign up for any that you’re interested in!
These are great opportunities for GAPS to strengthen their communication skills, learn how younger audiences connect with their work, and add to their CV.

Take Our Kids to Work Day - November 4th

Jessica Wallin looking for some folks to help me host a workshop during Take Our Kids to Work Day on November 4th. The workshop will be a series of stations in an escape-room-style game where Grade 9 students complete challenges exploring different careers at TRIUMF.
If you would like to participate in this event or have ideas for fun stations, please fill out this form<https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/0dkDm5V1ie>! The workshop will take place from 1 pm - 3 pm on November 4th. Next week, we'll brainstorm and create the stations for about an hour. Co-op students have also been invited to help with planning.

Space talk with a grade 2/3 class - date TBD

A grade 2/3 class from Saplings Nature School has asked to visit our facility and talk to a real-life scientist. The class is only 16 kids, and they are currently learning about space and forces. I'm looking for a researcher who is interested in chatting with this class about their work and what it is like to be a scientist! If you're interested in education and want to collaborate with me to create this experience, please contact Jessica Wallin jwallin at triumf.ca<mailto:jwallin at triumf.ca>. Students in grades 2/3 are around 8 years old, so this would suit someone who feels comfortable talking with much younger audiences.

Saturday Morning Lectures - Saturday 28th November

Saturday Morning Lectures is an all-ages public lecture series that explores the role of physics at the leading edge of science, from the infinitesimally small world within the atomic nucleus to the furthest reaches of the known Universe – and everything in between! On November 28th, we are holding an Early Career research spotlight, and we are looking for 6 people to give 12 minute presentations on their work to a general audience. Please sign up here<https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=EDUFwrOceUai049ELgO1h_JEF8xNP5xIgovQ2UH8e3tURUhVNk00RUVOVVNPWEhFWU8wWFRKVzhIQS4u> if you are interested!

Emily, obo GAPS Committee
