Volunteer on campus at field trips for K-12 students!

The Center for STEM Education needs volunteers interested in helping us run engineering field trips on campus for Boston students grades 4-12.  Our hands-on field trips cover topics such as renewable energy, biomechanics, river pollution and rockets.  We need a few extra hands on deck for our upcoming field trips this semester on the following days:

Fri., Nov. 18  9-1
Mon., Nov. 21  9-1
Fri, Dec. 2  9-1

Volunteers are welcome to join us for all or part of the field trips, working in small groups asking students questions about what they're learning and making sure they understand the activity and related concepts, and supervising lunch time. Please contact Tatiana at stem@neu.edu for more information.

Welcome to the Center for STEM Education's K-12 Outreach Blog!

WHO WE ARE: The Center for STEM Education is a Northeastern center focused on increasing opportunities and awareness in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields for students, especially those from backgrounds currently underrepresented in these careers. We work closely with our community to accomplish this goal, and have many volunteer opportunities both on campus and in the schools and communities in which we work.
VOLUNTEERING: Whether you are passionate about enhancing math and science education for K-12 students, want to get more involved in your community, or just want to fulfill some required volunteer hours, you've come to the right place! Read about our upcoming volunteer opportunities in the blog below, and then click on the link for the event in the right-hand column to register. We offer both ongoing and one-day volunteer opportunities, and new events are being added all of the time. We encourage you to also use this blog to discuss your current service experiences with other students at NU!

We also encourage you to refer to the resources provided to gain a deeper understanding of your role as a volunteer and the community that you will be serving.
