STEM Volunteers Needed
The American Association for the Advancement of Science needs scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and physicians to assist Fairfax County’s K-12 STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) teachers during the 2016-17 school year. The details of the collaboration are worked out between the teacher and the volunteer, and may involve giving demonstrations, assisting in lab experiments, lecturing on special topics, assisting with homework, etc. The hours are flexible, and volunteers attend a one-day orientation session before being assigned to schools.
