Calling
all scientists: Retired or active in the field Niskayuna High
School needs your expertise! The
Science Research in the High School (SRHS) program at
Niskayuna High School is currently seeking scientists,
either retired or active in the field, to meet once a
week with students who are doing independent research.
This course is an outreach program of the State
University of New York at Albany, which offers students
the opportunity to conduct original scientific research.
Students actively engage in the scientific community of
experimentation, learning the process, protocols and
regulatory parameters surrounding the world of research
and development. In addition, students experience and
learn the intricate details involved in the development,
critique/review, and subsequent publication/presentation
of scientific findings. Volunteers would help guide
students in narrowing their topics of study, finding and
reviewing appropriate research articles, finding
mentors, and developing/writing a scientific research
paper. In addition, volunteers would serve on our local
Science Review Committee (SRC) to analyze and approve
student research for entrance into regional science
competitions/venues, and for formal presentations. The
SRC members would be invited to attend our annual
Niskayuna SRHS Symposium at the end of the school year.
If you are interested in volunteering, contact Director
of Science K-12 Jackie Carrese, at 382-2511, ext. 4315
