Are you looking for an opportunity to volunteer in the greater DC community next Fall?
Do you wish you could use your science and engineering background to inspire the next generation of inventors?

If so, come to the a panel hosted by PTOS’s own ReSET mentoring group, Thursday, June 21 from 4-5pm at Jefferson 1D70 (the first floor conference room), with a Happy Hour at Pasara Thai to follow.

ReSET, a non-profit group started in DC, puts current and retired engineers into local public schools to engage students with hands on science and engineering experiments.

For the past two years, amazing PTOS volunteers have formed their own ReSET group and have been working with 3rd and 4th graders at Whittier Elementary School, a DC science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) school.  Some experiments we’ve presented include racing solar cars, cleaning water using homemade filters, introducing basic programing instruction with fun robots and even making dry-ice ice-cream.

On Thursday June 21,  PTOS ReSET will be presenting a panel of both PTO and other community ReSET volunteers as they discuss their successful year as well as techniques and experiments they found successful in “connecting children to science” – the theme of the panel.

This will be a great time for anyone interested in volunteering with PTOS’s ReSET group to obtain more information about our group as well as ask any questions you may have.  Plus enjoy some appetizers and drinks following the panel and talk with current volunteers to see if this might be a perfect fit for you.

For any questions please contact PTOS ReSET Co-Chair Pete Mehravari (peter.mehravari@uspto.gov, 571-270-1747)
