Workshop overview
An exciting opportunity for upper-class undergraduate and graduate students in science, mathematics, and engineering disciplines to learn about science policy and advocacy.
This entry-level program is organized to educate STEM students who are interested in learning about the role of science in policy-making, to introduce them to the federal policy-making process, and to empower them with ways to become a voice for basic research throughout their careers. The workshop is designed for students in science, technology, engineering and math fields, with limited experience and knowledge of science policy and advocacy who want to learn more about science policy.
Students will participate in a three-and-a-half-day program in Washington, D.C., where they will learn about the structure and organization of Congress, the federal budget and appropriations processes听and tools for effective science communication and civic engagement. In addition, students will participate in interactive seminars about policy-making and communication.
On the last day of the program, students will have the option to form teams and conduct meetings with their elected members of Congress and congressional staff. The date for the 2019 CASE workshop is March 24鈥�27, 2019.
