~COA: Hydroponics volunteer

Save to Favorites

JerseySTEM is an all volunteers grassroots non-profit agency dedicated to bridging the Innovation Gap, the Opportunity Gap and the Gender Gap in STEM education. We provide free of charge after-school, project-based, hands-on, team structures programs in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math to underserved students in New Jersey. Classes include: Robotics, Coding, Engineering, Life Sciences, etc. and are focused on kids grade 5-8. The programs last 10 weeks and are taught predominantly by volunteer college students that we recruit, train, transport and mentor as they donate 2 hours/week to the program.

JerseySTEM is looking for a volunteer to coordinate a test run of a new course on hydroponics and vertical farms. The volunteer would have to familiarize themselves with the prepared course lesson plans, gather any remaining necessary materials, coordinate with other volunteers on the project, and prepare to test the course with a small group of students. A test course is done to make sure all of the activities and lessons work well, and the volunteer would have to change/adapt any parts of the curriculum that did not work.

JerseySTEM is a network co-op of parents, professionals, students and educators whose goal is to promote excellence in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math ("STEM") education. We are dedicated to partnering with local schools and other organizations to create and enhance STEM-oriented educational opportunities as part of students' paths towards college and career readiness, and to develop effective STEM programs and initiatives that engage students and educators. JerseySTEM is also committed to bridging the gender gap in STEM education and sharing STEM-related opportunities with underprivileged students and communities.
