What is SciTrek?

SciTrek is paid, early-field experience offered each quarter for undergrad students who want to work with kids or seek an experience to "try teaching."  

SciTrek offers a unique opportunity to try teaching in a local classroom. 

Learning Facilitators plan, prepare, and present science lessons in local elementary classrooms. Lessons take place twice per week for roughly three weeks. The facilitators reflect on the implementation, and then the cycle is repeated with a new lesson in the same class or the same lesson in a different class.
