<p class="MsoNormal">Cascade is a student-run educational program for underserved students in the Boston-area. We are currently looking for teachers for our upcoming virtual Fall program. This would be a great opportunity for your department to get involved
in local outreach to underserved students, as a follow-up to ShutDownSTEM and similar initiatives! Could you please forward the teaching opportunity below to Biology undergraduate and graduate students? Thank you!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Cascade runs 10:30 AM - 3 PM EDT on Saturdays from October 3rd to 31st, with classes lasting 1 or 1.5 hours. Cascade aims to instill a love of learning in underserved ninth and
tenth-grade students from Greater Boston-area schools and community centers, many of whom do not have access to other educational enrichment opportunities. This year, we’re excited to be holding a virtual version of Cascade that we hope will provide a fulfilling
educational experience in an uncertain time. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Inspire students to love learning as a teacher! Do you want to inspire underserved students to love to learn and closely interact with them to build a supportive community? We’re
looking for teachers to lead 1~1.5 hour classes that emphasize engaging activities, discussions, and problem-solving. Past classes have included “Crime Scene Investigation”, “Games, Numbers, and How to Win”, and “Mind-Mancing: How to Hack a Human Being.” Classes
are typically taught by pairs or small teams of teachers, so we especially encourage partnering with your friends or colleagues to co-teach a class. We are also looking for classes about practical life/career skills, such as personal finance, policy class
with public speaking activities, or a web design class with design critiques.<o:p></o:p></p>
