GESTEM-Virtual 2021 Call for Volunteers will open 4/2/2021

You do NOT need to be female or a STEM professional to volunteer - anyone who is committed to the education and advancement of young girls is welcome.

WORKSHOP PRESENTERS

This year, we are going to focus on 3 hands-on workshops that can be presented virtually.

• Our commitment to hands-on exposure to STEM is not changed in our virtual event.
• To simplify materials and programming, we will have all students attend the same 3 workshops. Each workshop will run one time during the event

Because we are limited to 3 workshops (instead of the usual 40+ that we host), we are reaching out directly to workshop presenters that have expressed interest in supporting our virtual event.

​We will not have a "Call for Presenters" like we have in years past.​

For our three workshop presenters, we will ask the following:

• Create a workshop that can be delivered virtually. Simple is better since each student will be working at home with a STEM Professional Guide supporting them via Zoom
• Create a pre-recorded 10-15 minute introduction for your workshop that we can play for all participants to kick off the workshop
• Create a pre-recorded training session so that our STEM Professional Guides can use to learn the hands-on project before supporting students live.
• Support your workshop with volunteers on the day of the event to pop in and out of various virtual breakout rooms
• Provide 240 individual kits (200 attendees + 40 volunteers)
  

If you were one of our many workshop presenters in the past, we welcome you to volunteer as a STEM Professional guide!

GUIDES

Our group guides will lead a group of 5 students through their three hands-on workshops.
This is a wonderful opportunity to interact one-on-one with the students!

Because of the virtual nature of our event, the following tasks are asked of you before event day:

• Receive a kit with materials for all three hands-on workshops
• Attend trainings prepared by workshop presenters that show you the materials and how to put together the hands-on kit.
  
• These trainings will be pre-recorded so you can attend them at your preferred time and available ~2 weeks before the event
• Arrive ~1 hour early (8am) on event day for an orientation

​Sign up for our mailing list below to be the first to know all of the details for future events.
