Girl Scouts STEM Center Event Volunteer: Make Together

Save to Favorites

Girl Scouts will bring their favorite adults for a fun afternoon full of making and tinkering at the Girl Scouts STEM Center + MakerSpace. Different stations will be set up with fun activities for girls and adults to do together, plus our Spark activity area and Marble Machine! Volunteers are needed to assist in leading activities throughout the day, help with event set-up, check in and clean up, and ensure girls have the highest quality experience at this event.

The GSHCC STEM Center + MakerSpace is a place where girls can incorporate scientific discovery in their lives. Activities will focus on three key aspects of STEM: Engineering, Programming, and Biology & Environmental Science. The center also includes a MakerSpace that encourages the use of design thinking and collaborative problem solving. Through a variety of cooperative learning opportunities and hands-on experimentation, girls will hone key STEM-related skills such as creativity, innovation, critical thinking and problem solving all while having fun and gaining confidence. Plus, they’ll learn about STEM careers and meet female STEM professionals while they’re at it.
