Girls' Engineering Exploration 2017 - Volunteers Needed!

Calling ALL Volunteers!!

The Society of Women in Engineering (SWE) Detroit Section is sponsoring their annual Girls' Engineering Exploration (GEE) Event on Saturday, March 4, 2017 and needs your help!

 

This full-day of interactive workshops and demonstrations will be held at the Michigan Science Center and aims to expose 4th-6th grade girls to various fields of engineering and technology.

There is one of two ways you can support...

1. GEE Mentor...the girls will be divided into groups of 4-5 to facilitate their engagement as well as maximize their workshop experience.  Each GEE Mentor is responsible for monitoring the group throughout the day, in addition to encouraging participation and enthusiasm as the girls learn about engineering. Mentors must be able commit to being present for the full event from 8AM - 4PM.

2. Flex-Volunteer...whether you have a few hours to spare or an entire day to share, flex-volunteering roles support and maintain the GEE event flow throughout the day.  Flex-ers help with registration check-in, coat check, lunch distribution, and room set-up/break-down, to name a few.  Flex-ers can opt to be present for any of the three time slots: the full day (8AM - 4PM), morning (8AM - 12PM), or afternoon (12PM - 4PM).

If you are interested in volunteering in either of these capacities, please contact Samantha Kallman (smkallma@mtu.edu) and Morgan Neal (morgan.neal@smithgroupjjr.com) with your complete name, contact information, preferred time of availability and which way you prefer to volunteer.
