Each year the Natural History Museum of Utah hosts over 45,000 elementary aged children. We need volunteers to help spark excitement, curiosity, and an appreciation for the natural world in field trip guests. As a STEM Lab Facilitator volunteer, you will be able to play a part in igniting a young child's life-long passion for science. You'll gain valuable experience working with children, and get specialized training to learn to share the content of our exhibits and activities in a meaningful way.
STEM Lab Facilitator volunteers will create an engaging atmosphere for field trip guests to interact with science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) through facilitating open-ended, hands-on activities and creative projects. They will create an environment where students can engage in inquiry-, problem-, and project-based learning. Volunteers will assist in content evaluation and development, and prepare and organize supplies and materials as needed.
