![](https://img4.findglocal.com/979/895/1376974059798953.jpg)
Volunteers needed for this coming Saturday, June 22!
You won't have to carry the world on your shoulders, or even explain tricky science, just help families to complete short table-top STEAM activities.
We are estimating 400 people for the Boeing STEAM and Space Day , and could use some extra volunteers to help explain activities to families -- especially during the 12:00-4:00 shift.
Tween /teens ages 12 and up can volunteer with a parent, or teens ages 16 and up can volunteer on their own.
Sign up here by Tuesday! https://forms.gle/aR785RrMHJ2JRnom9

This is an opportunity for educators to go more in-depth with STEM topics and perhaps step outside their comfort zones and generate some fresh new ideas that they can use back in their classrooms. Participants will learn to use tools like drills, saws, soldering irons, Cricuts, and laser cutters to make educational objects like telescopes, rocket launchers, Arduino-powered houses, suitcase speakers and more to enhance your classroom projects.
