Volunteer to present workshops for pre-school children in science-related topics. The Sci-Tech Center's YOUNG EINSTEIN program is a weekly hands-on workshop for 3-5 year old children. Each week the children do a take-home project, such as exploring the world of insects, and making a model insect out of pipe cleaners and paper.
The volunteer educator should have prior experience teaching young children, or working with them in a participatory learning environment.
Use your skills to help motivate youngsters, and make a difference.
