Are you excited about science?  Do you like teaching kids?  Would you hold a cockroach?

If you can answer ‘yes’ to most of these questions, consider enrolling in Insect Discovery!

  *   Enroll in ENTO/RNR 407 – Insect Discovery.  In this 3-credit course, undergraduates are the teachers who lead visiting school children through a series of hands-on, inquiry-based activities that teach basic biology using insects. In addition to upper-division science credits, you receive an Engaged Learning Experience notation on your academic transcript.
  *   As a preceptor, you will learn both about insects and about communicating science to the public. At the same time, you will provide a special learning experience for children in the Tucson community.
  *   Course meeting time – Wed. 2:00 to 3:50pm with lab/workshops on Tuesdays or Wednesdays from 9:00 to 12:00 am.  For more information, contact Kathleen Walker (krwalker at cals.arizona.edu<mailto:krwalker at cals.arizona.edu>)
