[pccgrads] Public Outreach Opportunity Oct. 16

[Miriam A. Bertram via pccgrads]

Hello UW Earth, Atmos, Ocean and Climate Outreachers,

I've got a request that likely will resonate with those of you who like to
interact with the public.  I'm looking to put together a team of 3 or 4
people to respond to this....

Where: Pierce College (if anyone lives in the Tacoma area, this is perfect
for you!)
When: Wed Oct. 16   5-7 pm
What: Table at an event at the college--they do these public facing
activities regularly in and around their planetarium and expect an audience
of 300 people ranging in age from preschool to granny age.

Event goals:

   - Share pathways to learning about climate and earth science.  What
   opportunities/degrees are available for students (transfer and otherwise)
   at the UW.
   - Make science accessible to underserved communities
   - Communicate about climate

If one of you has a ready to go hands on activity, others had hand outs,
and at least two or three people were willing to carpool down there....we
could put something together that highlights the various opportunities at
UW, while also sharing an educational activity and answering questions
about climate change.

Please shoot me an email (respond to this to help me keep things organized)
ASAP if you want more information.

Thank you for considering!
Miriam
