Volunteer for the Maker Girl Mania at Clarkston HS

April 21, 2018 is the fourth annual Maker Girl Mania! Girls from Kindergarten through 7th grade come together and become artists, coders, inventors, makers and builders. SWE-D is assisting in this event by running an activity. We are making Shrinky Dinks! The activity will last about 15 minutes so that the girls do not lose focus.

 

This event is on Aril 21,2018 from 8:00am – 4:30pm at Clarkson High School (6093 Flemings Lake Road Clarkston, Michigan)

 

To run this event effectively we will need 2 volunteers at all times. The entire day will be 8 hours long, but it has been separated into 3 sessions from 8:00a-10:30a, 11:00a-1:30p, 2:00p-4:30p with a 30 minute break between sessions. Pizza is provided to our volunteers for lunch.

 

Feel free to Volunteer for one session, or multiple!

 

Please let me know if you are interested by emailing Courtney, the person organizing volunteers, or by contacting her by phone at 248-791-4829. She will give you more information and find out what slots you are able to work.

 

For some more details and information, check out the Maker Girl Mania’s Facebook, and some pictures from the 2015 event.
