Subject: Recruiting teens to reimagine the future of STEM
 
Are you 13-18 years old? Do you go to school? Bet you have something to say about it...
 
Groundswell is working on how to reimagine the future of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education in Canada. We’d like to invite TEENS -- the experts on what it’s like to be a student in 2016-- to help us figure out what that looks like.
 
Sign up for a 1 hour video or phone chat. you’ll be paid $25 after the call!
 
We want to chat with youth across the country to learn how to get as many students involved in this conversation as possible. There’s nothing to prepare, nothing to read, you just dial in at a set time and let us know your thoughts. This will NOT be like school, and you don’t need to be an ‘expert’ in STEM (or even like it!) to participate. We promise.
 
Three reasons why to attend:
- You’ll be part of an interesting conversation
- Your voice will be heard
- You’ll be awarded $25 for a one-hour call
 
The call will take place during the week of July 18, or July 25

Picture
While chasing plants in Iraq (post-Saddam, pre-ISIS) might not be everyone's cup of tea, Barbara Ertter and several botanical colleagues jumped at the chance to participate in the inaugural expedition for a new Flora of Iraq, in the mountains of autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan. Her presentation will include an overview of Kurdish history, as well as the joys and challenges of chasing plants in a region that shares much of the same habitats as the western United States.

Join Dr. Ertter on Thursday, July 14 from 7:00 to 8:00pm at the Beringia Centre in Whitehorse.
