Twice every week, CCA iGEM students went to a nearby elementary school, Solana Ranch, to tutor students.  The tutoring was available to all students at the school, so we worked with kids in grades ranging from kindergarten to the sixth grade.  This posed a unique challenge for us, as we had to adapt with each individual student's grade and skill level.  Through it all, we focused on the children's learning needs, helping them achieve their educational goals while also emphasizing the importance of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) subjects.  For us, it was incredible to think that we could have inspired a future scientist.

Though we put an emphasis on STEM subjects, we were there to promote the general importance of learning. We particularly stressed the importance of understanding the concepts that were being covered in the kids’ homework assignments, not just quickly finishing the assignment as fast as possible. This encouraged the kids to realize and appreciate the importance of putting effort into a project to understand it, rather than getting the correct answer while not knowing how they got to that result. This was a challenge sometimes; explaining the fundamentals of fractions to a child who had never heard of the word “denominator” before forced us to be particularly conscious as to how to present our tutoring advice.

The elementary school kids were not the only ones that had benefitted from this experience; the iGEM Team also learned from this interaction. We had to develop new communications skills that were necessary to communicate with the students regarding their assignments; especially with the younger children, it was a challenge to explain basic but important concepts without using terms we (as highschool students) already found natural to implement in our conversations. We learned how to communicate clearly and effectively with the students so that they could understand our explanations, which is an important tool in the STEM field, especially in that of popularizing science.

Human Practices

Outreach

Outreach

Twice every week, CCA iGEM students went to a nearby elementary school, Solana Ranch, to tutor students. The tutoring was available to all students at the school, so we worked with kids in grades ranging from kindergarten to the sixth grade. This posed a unique challenge for us, as we had to adapt with each individual student's grade and skill level. Through it all, we focused on the children's learning needs, helping them achieve their educational goals while also emphasizing the importance of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) subjects. For us, it was incredible to think that we could have inspired a future scientist.

Though we put an emphasis on STEM subjects, we were there to promote the general importance of learning. We particularly stressed the importance of understanding the concepts that were being covered in the kids’ homework assignments, not just quickly finishing the assignment as fast as possible. This encouraged the kids to realize and appreciate the importance of putting effort into a project to understand it, rather than getting the correct answer while not knowing how they got to that result. This was a challenge sometimes; explaining the fundamentals of fractions to a child who had never heard of the word “denominator” before forced us to be particularly conscious as to how to present our tutoring advice.
