Mentors advise students at Northwood Academy on ways to improve their Science Fair projects before the students compete in the city-wide Science Fair. Unlike many of our students, these students worked independently on their projects for their school based fair. They placed at Northwood's Science Fair and now are preparing to compete against students from all across the Philly region. Come help them to enhance their projects and show off their smarts!

Mission Statement
iPraxis is a nonprofit organization where we encourage students in Philadelphia’s public and charter schools to embrace and pursue STEM learning opportunities. Using inquiry and project-based learning activities like science fairs, in-class presentations, workshops, field trips, and career fairs, students gain insight into how things work in the real world and discover new possibilities for their future.
Description
Volunteers can get involved in the following ways and more: Science Fair Project Mentor: volunteers meet with a small group of students once a week for a 9-12 week period to guide the planning and implementation of a science fair project. After-school club mentor: volunteers collaborate with teachers to support students in various after- school programs. Current programs include: the Science Synergy competition (modeled after the Science Olympiad), reverse engineering, computer programming, and more! Science Fair judge: volunteers review student's projects and interview them during the science fair. Presenters: volunteers share information and hands on activities to enhance the curriculum and/or share about careers in different STEM fields.
