Dear NPS Elementary/Middle School Teachers and Principals,

We, Peter Dukakis and Rachel Kimball, are the leaders/founders of STEMentors, a program at Newton North, whose purpose is to bring engaging STEM lessons to K-8 students in Newton, through trips to schools, expos, libraries, and virtual 1:1 mentoring. Our main objective is to spark curiosity and inspire students!

We are hosting six guest speakers this summer, all who are very inspiring and have incredible insight! These sessions will include the following topics: Software Engineering, Computational Chemistry & Drug Discovery, Physical Medicine/Rehabilitation, Ophthalmology, Synthetic Biology, and Airborne and Space-based Sensor Engineering.

Every session is virtual and free of charge. There will be a Q and A session for kids to submit their questions. More information and the sign-up form is on our website: https://sites.google.com/view/stementors/stem-speakers. Sessions are geared towards students entering grades 3-8; however, kids of all ages (and parents) are more than welcome to join!

Would you be interested in spreading the word to your students’ families? We would greatly appreciate it if you could forward this email to families!

Thanks so much!
Peter and Rachel
