science. We are recruiting undergraduate Field Study Mentors to work with students in grades 8-12 to develop and execute field-based research projects for the regional science fair, run by the Southern AZ Research, Science, and Engineering Foundation (SARSEF).
This is a unique opportunity to gain experience with science education and communication. Training will be provided for effective mentoring of students, along with support throughout the mentoring process and feedback to mentors on improving facilitation,
teaching, and scientific process skills.</span><span style="font-family:"Corbel",sans-serif;color:#002060"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-family:"Corbel",sans-serif;color:windowtext">“I would have to say the field work in Sabino Canyon was the best part of the program. It was nice to be outdoors, working with the kids, and having a good time while working
on the project.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-family:"Corbel",sans-serif;color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-family:"Corbel",sans-serif;color:windowtext">“This program helped me to develop my leadership, collaboration, and mentorship skills. I greatly enjoy mentoring through science outreach, and this program allows me to
hone my skills in mentoring through accessing my own resources and assisting the students.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-family:"Corbel",sans-serif;color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-family:"Corbel",sans-serif;color:windowtext">“This experience really reinforced problem solving skills. The plant we were working with was hard to find in Sabino Canyon and we had to really time everything just right
to make sure that we had enough viable samples to work with before the plants died. Also being around these super talented graduate students really gave me insight into several different fields of study that I hadn’t considered before.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-family:"Corbel",sans-serif;color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-family:"Corbel",sans-serif;color:windowtext">“It was so much more fun than I expected it to be, and working with the kids really was rewarding. Some of the kids I worked with had never thought about going into STEM
fields before and throughout the program I could tell that they were becoming more and more interested. It was really neat to see that growth.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
