Emeritus scientists, mathematicians, and engineers handbook
The Emeritus Scientist, Mathematicians and Engineers (ESME) program is designed to supplement the teaching of math and science in primary schools. The program targets schools where youngsters have little or no contact with these professions. Purpose is to tap into the vast bases of knowledge, training, and experience of retired professionals and use them as a resource and a catalyst for learning. They make a limited commitment to work with a class for one unit of time (six 1- hour sessions plus a field trip, over a 6-week period); this does not include preparation time. Professionals interested in being part of ESME must first prepare a Profile''; a sample profile is given. ESME volunteers presently are working in 8 schools in Washington DC Metropolitan area. Experiments that have been done successfully are listed, as are possible field trips.
