Often students find it easier to bond with an undergraduate or graduate student closer in age to them than a teacher or faculty member.
Involvement can happen at several levels.
You may want to have your graduate and undergraduate students help with the classes you are teaching. Perhaps you develop a relationship with the local school district or a single classroom and your students work with a teacher or group of classrooms. There may be NSF-sponsored programs at your institution or districts in which you and your graduate and undergraduate students can become involved. Depending on the scope of the project, your research could form the basis for, or a component of, the materials brought into the classroom. Consider using polar science as the foundation of an integrated undergraduate science course.
