[CaTEACH-SMI] STEP Conference

[Leslie Bushong]

Are you interested in teaching in science or mathematics? Would you 
like to be involved in the region's largest interactive 
science/technology event for K-12 students?

  Approximately three volunteers are needed by 
<http://www.ambryxbiotech.com/>Ambryx Biotechnology and 
<http://www.encorepharma.com/pharma/default.htm>Encore 
Pharmaceuticals for their joint booth exploring biology at the 
<http://www.myscienceeducation.com/index.htm>Science and Technology 
Education Partnership Conference (STEP 7) Oct. 11-12 at the Riverside 
Convention Center. These two local drug discovery companies plan an 
interactive booth involving microscope viewing and simple synthesis 
demonstrations.

What are the benefits for you?
    * Help spark students' imagination about the possibilities of 
careers in science and technology
    * Interact with company scientists and teachers
    * Gain experience working with students in hands-on demonstrations
