SEM Link is celebrating Computer Science Education Week by providing our school and community partners the opportunity to have Computer Science professionals to host virtual or in-person computer science activities, including hour of code workshops for classrooms and community spaces. This is an individual or group volunteer opportunity taking place during the weekday and on Saturdays. Those who volunteer during the weekday at schools, must volunteer for at least one hour between the hours of 9am-2:00 pm and those who are volunteering on Saturday will do so between 10am-2pm.
Volunteers are expected to conduct a hands on STEM activity or interactive computer science demonstrations that lasts 30-45 minutes; it can be multiple activities and demonstrations in that time frame.
