Let's Talk Science at University of Windsor
401 Sunset Ave N9B 3P4 Windsor, ON, Canada

We're back! We've been busy making plans for virtual outreach this coming fall, so we've been quiet on social media. But we wanted to share our team intro video created for the virtual Let's Talk Science coordinator conference earlier this summer! https://youtu.be/TS282baaW5I

The Let's Talk Science at UWindsor team welcomes Victoria Kotevski as she takes on the role of Activity Management Coordinator! Victoria became involved with LTS UWindsor in September 2018 and quickly exceeded our expectations as a volunteer with her dedication and enthusiasm. After applying, she joined our VEC team as a Kit Maintenance Officer in April 2019, consistently bringing creative ideas, excellent training sessions, and remaining active on community visits. We welcome Victoria to the coordinator team and can't wait to see the great things she will develop!

The Let's Talk Science Outreach at UWindsor coordinator team would like to say a final thank you to our wonderful coordinator Julia Power as she ends her term! Julia began her LTS journey in May 2017, her motivation as a volunteer led to her quickly joining our VEC team in September 2017 as a Kit Maintenance Officer. Her creativity and hard work didn't go unnoticed and in September 2018 she was promoted as a Volunteer Executive Committee (VEC) lead providing support to the re...st of the team. In May 2019, Julia began her role as Activity Management Coordinator where she focused on activity development for underrepresented STEM areas, established a strong VEC team, and developed documentation that can be used for the years to come. We thank Julia for her time with us and wish her the best of luck as she goes on to complete her Masters in Industrial and Organizational Psychology at the University of Guelph! See more

As National Volunteer Week comes to a close, we want to acknowledge some of our superstar volunteers who have gone above and beyond this past semester! Kadila Adili and Jodie Al-Dandachi have developed several very creative and engaging hands-on activities for our partnership with the Glengarry Homework Club. Salma Al Ghazaly and Emma Getty did a fantastic job delivering math and coding activities to a group as part of the WE STEAM initiative. We are so lucky to work with them, and all of our volunteers at LTS UWindsor!

It is a busy semester already! From recruiting new volunteers during Welcome Week, to meeting up with our returning volunteers for refresher training sessions, to getting our workshop kits restocked and ready to bring to classrooms. We will be training new volunteers in the next few weeks and starting our classroom visits. We will also be at Open Streets Windsor, at the University Hub. Exciting things to come from our outreach site this year!
