The spring round of the Adopt-a-Physicist outreach program will begin soon. I did this in the Fall, and it was a good experience, so I've registered myself again.
The program pairs volunteer physicists with high school classes, and provides a web forum in which students can ask questions about physics and careers in physics. Back in the fall, the students I communicated with asked smart and interesting questions, and it was a pleasure to talk to them.
If you have a degree in physics (undergraduate or graduate), and would like to help encourage high school students to consider physics, you can sign yourself up for the program until April 5. If you teach high school physics, and would like to particpate, registration is still open for adopters as well as adoptees.
So those heads of schools who are on the fence about this program - would you describe them as Uncertain Principals...?
I have to admit when seeing the headline was that my first thought was help for those who are really good physicists but can't tie their own shoes or speak in complete sentences.
