Additional Opportunities
Additional resources for those interested in getting involved in outreach at Stanford and elsewhere
Stanford’s Office of Community Engagement
Stanford University's Office of Community Engagement encourages and assists Stanford faculty to engage in science outreach – organized activities targeted at our nation's youth, school teachers, and general public that will increase their interest, understanding, and involvement in math, science, and engineering.
American Chemical Society (ACS)
The American Chemical Society’s community outreach programs enable volunteers and enthusiasts to become more involved in an ACS local section, division(s), and/or community by providing reliable resources that can be easily used to promote interest in chemistry and science to children and young adults. Participation in community activities helps ACS members and interested individuals to increase media and public awareness of the importance of chemistry in our daily lives.
BABEC
The Bay Area Biotechnology Education Consortium (BABEC) is a regional network of local science education organizations based in the Northern California Bay Area. BABEC is dedicated to increasing student understanding of key concepts in molecular biology and raising student awareness of applications and careers in biotechnology. In the process, BABEC is enabling systemic reform in an important area of science education by helping teachers bring relevant, thought-provoking, hands-on activities into the classroom.
ChemEx2

Chemistry Experiences and Experiments for Learning (ChemEx2) provides high-school chemistry teachers with an opportunity to work with a set of chemistry experiences that can foster student learning and expand high-leverage, core teaching practices. Participants will develop a plan for their own classrooms that uses these experiences, experiments, and core teaching practices to address the science learning goals in the NGSS and Common Core State Standards.
Stanford Summer Pre-Collegiate Institute
Stanford Pre-Collegiate Studies (SPCS) inspires students from around the world to explore academically rigorous learning opportunities through online and residential enrichment programs. Committed to Stanford University’s ideals of academic excellence, SPCS fosters inclusive and accessible communities that enhance learning for the next generation of global citizens.
