Volunteers needed June 2 at NU for Youth Business Plan Competition

This is not a Center for STEM Education event, but a cool event in need of volunteers on campus.

BUILD is currently seeking volunteers to assist with their inaugural Youth Business Plan Competition on Saturday, June 2nd at Northeastern University.  This will be an exciting event featuring 102 students competing on 20 teams to win a cash prize of $1,500.  Event organizers are expecting close to 1,000 guests including students, families, mentors, business coaches, corporate partners, venture advisors, board members and friends of BUILD. Mayor Menino will give opening remarks. All volunteers can watch the Final Round Competition. (See http://www.build.org/) Volunteers must be available on Saturday, June 2 from 8 am – 5 pm.  There are 2 shifts available: Morning Shift from 8 am to 1 pm, and Afternoon Shift from 11:00 am – 5 pm.  There will also be a Volunteer Orientation on May 31st from 6-9 pm at Northeastern. If you are available, please email Volunteer Coordinator Michelle Morgan at mkm321@hotmail.com.

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.
