Laboratory for the 21st Century, the V-Lab program conducts sessions via a collaborative communication platform and enables students (grades 5-12) in their classrooms or non-traditional settings to simultaneously conduct hands-on science experiments along with highly-qualified instructors at S2S Technology Centers in East Hanover and Newark, NJ.
Volunteer Roles in the V-Lab: Volunteers can either serve in the classroom (time commitment approx. 2 hours) or remotely via livestream (time commitment approx. 5-10 mins). V-Lab sessions are typically 45 minutes long and run during a normal school day between 8:15 am and 3:00 pm. Sign up for as many sessions are your schedule permits.
There are 2 ways to participate:
- As mentors in a classroom at a participating school, up to 3 volunteers per session. Mentors help the classroom instructor set up the experiments, assist students as needed, and help clean up. Training is provided and "How-to Videos" and lesson plans are available. Requires a commitment of 1-2 hours.
- As a virtual mentor, promoting your college and career path - it can be done remotely from your desk and requires a time commitment of 5 - 15 minutes.
