Haas Science In Service
Science in Service is a program developed by Stanford's HAAS Center for Public Service that connects Stanford students to young people in our local communities through science mentorship and after-school science clubs.
Stanford Student Outreach
Programs for Stanford Undergraduates
Henry's Place
Henry's Place is an after-school program designed to motivate and excite kids about learning through fun, hands-on, interactive activities. Each Stanford student is paired up with one elementary school student for a quarter (and longer if possible) in order to foster a bond between the two. Our focus is on creativity though science.
49ers Academy Teaching Team
49ers Academy is a unique partnership - a public alternative school, supported by a private non-profit agency. The 49ers Academy serves 6th, 7th and 8th grade students who benefit from a small, nurturing and personalized environment. The population is primarily made up of low-income minority youth and it is safe to say that many of the kids served by the 49ers Academy exhibit high-risk behaviors. These children are often characterized as hard to reach and hard to teach. Next to the family, the Academy is the major source of development for these students. The 49ers Academy provides a caring community where the emphasis is on one-on-one relationships to promote academic success in children who have struggled in other school programs.
Science Bus
The Science Bus offers an after-school science curriculum for grade school children at the East Palo Alto Charter School (EPACS), a great school in a low-income part of the San Francisco Bay Area. The program is developed and taught by graduate and undergraduate students at Stanford University. We welcome any member of the Stanford Community who has knowledge of science and an interest in teaching to join us and make a difference in the lives of promising young students.
Stanford Scientific Magazine
The Stanford Scientific Magazine -- written, edited, designed and marketed by Stanford undergraduate and graduate students -- is published three times a year to inform both lay readers and experts about Stanford science and engineering research programs and to discuss associated ethical and social issues.
Science and Enviromental Education - SEED
SEED is a Stanford student organization dedicated to sharing our enthusiasm about natural science with the youth of East Palo Alto through hands-on lessons. We hope to help the children open their eyes to the world in which they live.
School of Engineering Student Organizations
Stanford's School of Engineering students are involved in the student chapters of many professional societies.....from the American indian Science and Engineering Society to Women in Electrical Engineering.
The School of Engineering also provides grants to student associations for projects or activities that benefit the engineering community. Groups and individuals from the undergraduate and graduate communities are invited to apply for support from the SoE/OSA Dean’s Office. The review committee evaluates proposals on a quarterly basis. More information at http://soe.stanford.edu/current_students/resources_funding.html.
Optical Society of America - Stanford Student Chapter
Stanford's student chapter of the Optical Society of America is active in outreach to K-12 students and teachers. We offer hands-on demos and exhibits at Stanford's Community Day and at professional development programs for local high school physics teachers. Stanford students interested in optics are invited to participate
Society of Women Engineers Outreach
SWE sponsors a number of K-12 outreach programs, including Exploring New Worlds, Middle School Outreach, and Junior Engineering Technical Society (JETS) competitions called Tests of Engineering, Aptitude, Mathematics and Science (TEAMS).
Educational Studies Program/Splash!
Stanford ESP provides a fun and affordable educational experience for high school students through academic and non-academic classes taught by student volunteers at Stanford.
Stanford undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to participate in the program by teaching a class of their choosing, from 1-4 hours long, with an attendance cap you set: anywhere from 10-150 students. We can provide you with material, teacher training, and help designing your course. Time commitment is as short as teaching your class and preparing for it, or we can use your help in preparing and running our event. We are 100% student-run.
Stanford Alchemy Society
The Stanford Alchemy Society, previously known as the Stanford Chemistry Club, is a student-run group sponsored by the Chemistry Department. We put on chemistry shows for local elementary, junior high, and high schools in the Bay Area as well as on campus demos for visiting children.
Students for Healthy Youth
Students for Healthy Youth (S4HY) is a community service student organization that addresses the issue of childhood obesity in the local community. S4HY is sponsored by the Haas Center for Public Service.
