MASSACHUSETTS, October 13, 2012


Design Squad Nation is seeking volunteer engineers and engineering students to help at a one-day Design Squad Nation public event held at the Museum of Science in Boston on October 13. Families will come to the museum to do hands-on DSN engineering activities, meet the hosts of the show, and share their own inventions. The event is free with paid admission.
Volunteers are needed to assist at the activity tables and with general traffic flow. Volunteers must participate in an evening training held at WGBH on October 9 from 6-7:30pm, and then be on hand at the Museum of Science from 11:30-4:15 on October 13. Volunteers will receive a Design Squad Nation t-shirt and have an opportunity to meet the hosts of Design Squad Nation.

If you'd like to volunteer, please send an e-mail to designsquad_feedback@wgbh.org  and be sure to include your name, school or company, preferred e-mail address and a phone number where you can easily be reached.

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!
