AstroConvos
Community Engagement Team
AstroConvos actively works to promote create regional initiatives with underrepresented communities. Being a part of the Community Engagement Program enables coordinators to work alongside like-minded individuals to make meaningful and direct change in communities. Our program consists of high school students throughout the world.
Selected provincial coordinators work with their respective regional teams to collaborate on region-specific outreach projects, as well as act as representatives of the organization. Whether this be representing AstroConvos STEM-related events or engaging in social media events, coordinators act as the faces of AstroConvos. Coordinators also have the opportunity to provide executives with feedback on program development to engage authentic student opinions and concerns and address the needs that our programs may have yet to meet.
Regional Projects
Coordinators work together as a regional team to collaborate on a region-specific outreach project to bring the local STEM community together. Numerous ideas grow into a reality with the support of the team and sponsors that assist with advertisement. Coordinators have been extremely successful in executing their plans, introducing essential opportunities to high school students who are interested in exploring STEM education. Some of the notable projects accomplished this year by the outreach coordinators include:
Stem Codes
A competition that was held over Code Chef for students to showcase their coding skills for a chance to win a prize.
Diversity in STEM Webinar
A free STEM webinar that focused on POC experts in the workforce who talked about their own experiences and barriers in STEM fields.
Research that Revolutionizes
A free STEM webinar where attendees learned how to put a research project together from experienced outreach coordinators, in addition to doing research in a formula university setting as a high school student.
Conference Representation
We join forces with other STEM organizations to help spread awareness about our initiatives. We have coordinators representatives who set up booths at both online and in-person conferences and answer your questions about our organization!
