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.
