We need two volunteers to fill the leadership positions at our STEM Scouts Lab at PJ Jacobs Junior High and Amherst Middle School. The volunteers would be responsible for leading 5-15 youth in fun, hands on projects that allow them to explore science, technology, engineering, and math. This is a coed program for kids in grades 6-8. The lab meets once a week for 90 minutes from December-May. The PJ Jacobs Junior High lab meets on Thursdays from 6-7:30 pm and the Amherst Middle School Lab meets from 3:30-5 pm on Tuesdays. At least one volunteer has to be 21 years of age. We provide training, a specific curriculum to follow that is written at the national level of the BSA, and all of the supplies are sent to you in the mail. We will be there to help the leaders through the first meeting. The sponsor of the lab is Wildcard Corporation so the volunteers will have short term assistance from STEM Professionals and opportunities for field trips. We have kids all signed up and a place to meet we just need an enthusiastic leader in order to bring this great program to the kids. Please let me know if you are interested as soon as possible.
