- Websites need not be extensive at this point, but could introduce the
team and its proposed experiment.
- Note...posting your team's entire proposal to your website before selected
teams are announced is not advised due to plagiarism concerns.
- Outreach plans must be original to your team. Do not attempt to copy outreach plans from previous proposals.
- Please document any completed outreach presentations/activities
(classroom visits, community events, etc.) using our "Team Outreach
Event Log" (see Supporting Documents).
Your plan will be strengthened by incorporating:
- Specific plans and details (including names of schools, museums etc. to visit)
- Letters or agreements from institutions who have accepted your invitation to address their group
- Creative and/or innovative approach for delivering activities
- Development of a mentoring relationship
- Reaching out to traditionally underserved or underrepresented communities. For example, a predominantly minority K-12 school, a predominantly minority college or university, and women's organizations.
- A press plan.
- Alignment of an activty that will help a K-12 teacher meet a state standard or teaching objective. Ask a teacher for guidance, or look on your state education website. Make sure you tell us what standard you are going to meet and decribe briefly how.
