When we establish “partnerships” between schools and business or organizations, the question is always: How it this partnership mutually beneficial?<\/p>\n
That element is often missing, as schools ask and ask for support. Don’t get me wrong, I definitely hope that my students can come to Bayer on excursions, or that they will send me guest speakers, or video conference with our students. But I hope that I too can give back.<\/p>\n
Bayer has a wonderful collection of resources to support their employees being ambassadors and getting them into the classroom. As a part of this internship, I will get to work on their Making Science Make Sense curriculum and workshop day. First, I will be developing and creating a resource for employees to use in the classroom, and even for teachers to expand their students’ understanding of science. They also host a Making Science Make Sense workshop for teachers to attend and gain knowledge of Bayer and STEM. During the full day workshop this year, I am planning to run their social media through their twitter and instagram accounts. Another way I have given back, is through posting on their blog about ways to increase STEM outreach.<\/p>\n
Plus, I am now a Bee Ambassador and Bayer Ambassador!<\/p>\n
Not to mention all my hard work and sweat in the greenhouse! We had the chance to plant, transplant, transport, water, and even harvest the soybean plants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
