Would you like an ongoing volunteer opportunity that will foster relationships and connect with the youth of Hamilton Southeastern Schools? We are seeking dedicated volunteers who are available to assist with 5th grade tours of the Maker Playground primarily on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Due to the nature of this opportunity, we are asking volunteers to commit to at least one day a week through January 27. Tours will not occur during school breaks.
In collaboration with Hamilton Southeastern Schools, the Maker Playground is offering an experiential and project-based curriculum for all 5th grade students.
Modeled after the successful and popular Nature First program at Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve, the program features study trips to the Maker Playground, where students are immersed in the workshop and work collaboratively to solve real-world problems through making (think bridge building or creating a better mouse trap).
The goal is to bridge the gap between education and industry, where students can begin thinking about how making is part of building their future career.
