Welcome
Big Orange STEM Symposium (B.O.S.S.): High School Outreach, Saturday, April 6, 2013, 10am-3pm in the Hodges Library on the campus of the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. The University Libraries is host and organizer for this event, bringing together STEM-related departments and centers from across campus and the Knoxville community.
The symposium…
- Provides high school students interested in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics career fields with the learning experience of hands-on scientific research and the opportunity to develop an understanding of research skills.
- Allows students to explore STEM fields in a holistic way, giving them a taste of each of the disciplines so they will be more informed and more prepared to decide which area they would like to study.
Students will…
- Hear a panel discussion among current undergraduates in STEM disciplines
- Meet researchers working in STEM fields
- Learn about strategies and techniques for doing undergraduate research through exposure to the scientific process, resources, and technologies.
- Learn about STEM organizations in our region and unique opportunities at UT such as the VolsTeach program that allows students to earn a bachelor’s degree in a math or science field concurrently with a teaching certificate.
Please join us at the Big Orange STEM Symposium, and encourage your students to attend as well. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER!
LUNCH WILL BE PROVIDED WHILE SUPPLIES LAST! WE WILL ALSO HAVE A RAFFLE FOR A GRAND PRIZE – A KINDLE FIRE!
We hope to see you on April 6!
