Volunteer Opportunity for Engineering Students
CU Students,
I am seeking volunteers to lead our afterschool engineering clubs (called TEAMS Clubs) for this spring semester. Can you help out at our clubs in Longmont and Lafayette elementary/middle schools teaching K-12 youth about engineering?
Clubs start the week of February 9th and go through the last week of classes… it’s one hour a week (plus drive time) and is so much fun to work with young students. I guarantee: it would be the highlight of your week that’s not school related!
It’s ~ 20 hour commitment over the spring semester and counts towards any scholarship or society service that you may have. I supply the activities each week; you simply teach kids how fantastic engineering is and help inspire them to consider engineering as a career option. Also, if you have a car and can drive a group of CU students to/from a school, I will reimburse your mileage.
I have clubs at the following times/days (and need leaders yet for all days/times):
Monday = Fall River Elementary School, 3:30-4:30 (Longmont)
Tuesday = Lafayette ES, 2:45-3:45pm (Lafayette)
Tuesday = Sanchez ES, 4:00-5:00pm (Lafayette)
Tuesday = Alpine ES, 3:30-4:30 (Longmont)
Tuesday = Northridge ES, 3:15-4:15pm (Longmont)
Tuesday = Columbine ES, 3:15-4:15pm (Longmont)
Tuesday = Trail Ridge MS, 3:00-4:00pm (Longmont)
Thursday = Timberline ES, 3:40-4:40pm (Longmont)
Thursday = Indian Peaks ES, 3:45-5:00pm (Longmont)
Thursday = Rocky Mountain ES, 3:30-4:30pm (Longmont)
Please let me know ASAP at janet.yowell@colorado.edu if you’re available (clearly stating which day[s] and starting at what time you have open).
Again, time counts towards MOST scholarship and/or student society service requirements.
Thx., Janet Yowell
