Have an interest in STEM? Working with kids? Project Make? Then this opportunity is for you! We are hosting a Military Maker Faire and we need your help!
This faire will involve multiple stations that you will man, help kids complete the activity, and explain the science behind it! Don't worry, you don't have to have your PhD to explain these concepts - a one-sheet will be provided for each activity with instructions and the scientific concepts! Some of the stations we will have include makey makey, art bot, easy fun lava lamps, snap circuits, and so much more!
Utilizing the 4-H Experiential Learning Model, kids will experience the project, then you will help them reflect upon what just happened(i.e. ask them questions talk to them about what they saw/did), and the apply it to other things(i.e. so how can they use what they learned in other aspects of life!).
Help be a part of making kids love STEM and Project Make!
