Unique Community Outreach Opportunity
The St. Charles School District has approached Fermilab with an unusual
proposal. Superintendent Francis Kostel and St. Charles school officials
would like to invite Fermilab scientists and engineers to visit schools
and talk with students -- but not necessarily about science. Instead,
they're interested in hearing from Fermilab scientists about their
OTHER passions in life: cooking; making woodworking tools; opera;
butterflies; Civil War history; building airplanes; growing peonies;

sculpture; playing in a band...whatever they love to do that is
NOT physics. The idea is to provide students with a glimpse of the richness of
human possibilities, the unexpected dimensions life has to offer.
School officials are hoping these interactions -- the formats are still
quite fluid -- may also help to change students' stereotypes about
scientists and the lives they lead. The school district would like
to try this at every level, from kindergarten through high school.
If you are a Fermilab scientist or engineer with a passion -- or even a
hobby -- that you might consider sharing with St. Charles students, please
write to today@fnal.gov.
This is the first time St. Charles has tried anything
like it, so time commitment, student levels, formats and so on are
very flexible. If you'd like more information, call Judy Jackson at x4112.
