Looking for a way to make a big difference in a small amount of time? Volunteer with Science is Elementary (SiE) at Roses in Concrete Community School in Oakland.
SiE and Roses in Concrete are partnering to provide engaging, hands-on science lessons this spring and are seeking STEM professionals to volunteer as mentors and facilitate small group experiments. We are especially hoping for volunteers who are people of color so that students have role models reflecting their community. It's a minimal time commitment: 2 hours a month from Feb-May 2018. You'll learn, experience joy, and make a difference in the lives of some amazing students.

Location:

Mission Statement
We provide inspiring, innovative, high-quality science experiences to the preschool and elementary school children who need them most.
Description
Leveraging children's inherent curiosity through hands-on experiments, in small groups, guided by scientist and engineer volunteers
Science education must be relevant, exciting, and experiential. We leverage the natural curiosity and creativity of elementary school-aged children.
Volunteer groups of engineers and scientists (1 adult per 8 children) bring "cool" hands-on experiments to the classroom and allow children to explore on their own while asking directed questions to guide their thought processes and investigations. Experiments draw on children's everyday experiences to show them that science is all around them and is fun.
