Emeritus scientists, mathematicians, and engineers programs
- Emeritus Scientists Program, Washington, DC (United States)
The goal of the Emeritus Scientists, Mathematicians, and Engineers (ESME) Program is to introduce elementary school children to the fun and excitement of science and technology. The objective is to use hands-on experiments and demonstrations in the classroom. ESME recruits retired scientists and engineers in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area. Working with the teachers as a team, the volunteers teach six hour-long classes, then take the children to a laboratory or a museum. Support comes from the D.C. Public School system, and professional societies and corporations. Funding has been provided by the NSF, public and private foundations. A professional evaluation is conducted every three years.
