Become a mentor for the new
Mason Magellan Program
What is it?
The Mason Magellan Program is new after school science program for grades 1-3 at Mason Elementary School, which is a nearby elementary school accessible by the 1 bus. This is a new program started by SWE's Off Campus Outreach Committee to encourage kids' interest in STEM and provide a safe, fun, and educational environment until they can go home. The activities will be around an hour long, and very simple to set up. For our first session, we will be making free-standing balloon towers as an engineering project. We're super excited to get this started, but we can't do it without you.
When does it run?
We're looking for several enthusiastic volunteers to come in once every two weeks for this semester on Tuesday afternoons from about 3:30-5:30, including transportation time, to mentor the program. Our first session is on March 1.
Why become a mentor?
This is a fantastic opportunity for you to have fun with kids, get away from the MIT craziness for awhile, get involved with MIT SWE, and gain planning experience, especially if you're interested in being on a SWE committee or planning board.
Please reply to mitswe.offcampus@gmail.com if you are interested. All majors, backgrounds (and gender) are welcome. Thank you so much, and we really can't do this without you!
All the best,
MITSWE Off Campus Outreach
