Help us to promote a greener, cleaner NC!
NC GreenPower is a nonprofit improving our state’s environment by supporting renewable energy, carbon offset projects and providing grants for solar installations at K-12 schools.
We will be attending the UNC Science Expo and will need help staffing an outreach table where event attendees can ask questions and learn more about NC GreenPower.
The 2019 UNC Science Expo is a free, family-friendly event offering more than 100 fascinating exhibits with hands-on experiments, riveting demonstrations, laboratory tours, stage entertainment and much more! This NC Science Festival signature event showcases the wonders of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
At our outreach table we will have eco-friendly giveaways such as recycled newspaper pencils, cups, coloring books, brochures etc. as well as displays, banners, maps and pictures of our solar schools installations and renewable energy displays. We will also have a small solar panel at the table for demonstration purposes and color changing UV beads for kids to make bracelets and learn more about the power of the sun.
Your responsibilities would include engaging people who stop by the outreach table, tell them about our program, assist with STEM activities, give out NC GreenPower swag etc. If they have specific questions that you don’t feel comfortable answering please give them one of our business cards and/or refer them to our website. We will have 2 shifts available.
We will provide you with a short training session about our program that you can do from home once you sign up.
