STEM Volunteers needed, Ipraxis

Posted by on August 29, 2011

Ipraxis, a non-profit located in the University City Science Center, is looking for volunteers to help enrich STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) education in the Philadelphia School District.

Volunteers work with a small group of middle school students to help guide them as they work to complete a science fair project. Students then present their projects to guest judges at an in-school science fair and the winners have the option of then entering their projects in citywide G.W. Carver Science Fair. Winners are also recognized at event we hold in the spring called Ifunction. The time commitment is 1-2 hours per week for 8 weeks and the schools are located in West Philly, Roxborough, and Frankford. If you would like to help get young students curious and excited about science, please contact assistant program coordinator, Tim Robinson, at trobinson@ipraxis.org. It is truly a valuable and rewarding program for everyone involved!
