I’m reaching out to you to see if you might be able to help
Gloria J. Parks Community Center recruit some STEM instructors for their Summer
Camp, which runs July 8 to August 16. They have a budget to support
purchasing materials and equipment, and to hire 6 instructors for $18/hour for
10 hours per week, plus a week of preparation before the camp begins.
They acquired 4 sets of 12 Chromebook laptops this spring to
help our youth program integrate more on-line curricula. And we now have
a Smart Board on a portable cart. But we will purchase more equipment and
supplies given the plans and needs of the new instructors.
I’m wondering if any of you know undergraduate and/or
graduate students who might be interested.
I’ve attached a flyer that you could forward out to your
groups’ social media and email lists. We’d like to get resumes by June 3, and start interviews the following week so
people can plan their summers, as well for us to meet and organize the supply
and equipment orders once we have the team of 6 instructors.
This will be a great experience in translating Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Math concepts into hands-on activities with
children ages 5 to 14 years old. Even if you are never planning to teach
for a living, this kind of experience may influence and inspire your work and
volunteer life for many years to come.
Thanks so much for the help.

Canada/USA Mathcamp (www.mathcamp.org) is a
summer program for talented high school students from all over the United
States, Canada, and the rest of the world. At Mathcamp, students interact with
world-class mathematicians, explore advanced topics in mathematics, and find a
true intellectual peer group.
The mentor job is a hybrid between
a teaching position and a camp counselor role. Your primary responsibility is
to teach great classes, and you’ll be doing this in the context of a
residential summer program: you live, eat, and play with the campers. It’s a
lot of work and a lot of fun.
As a mentor at Mathcamp, you get
an amazing teaching experience: there is no set curriculum, so you create your
own classes and teach the math you’re interested in. From group theory to
projective geometry, from complex analysis to cryptography, from fractals to
voting theory – there is an abundance of mathematics that can be taught (with a
little imagination) at camp level. You’ll have support (in both curriculum
design and pedagogy) from master teachers, and you’ll work with students who
are exceptionally smart and engaged.
Mentors are also the camp’s
primary leaders and organizers, and cultivate the rich life of the camp by
planning activities, setting camp policy, and serving as residential
counselors—essentially, running the camp, and bringing it to life with creative
ideas, inside and outside the classroom. Initiative, flexibility, and tolerance
for a certain degree of chaos are a must—that is part of what makes Mathcamp an
exciting place to work!
Since women and minority students
often face a shortage of role models in mathematics, we are especially eager to
recruit mentors from these groups.
