Summer Volunteer Opportunity

Any students that would like to work at the robotics summer camp hosted by the Monroe County ISD (taught by me), here is what you need to do.  Email me the dates you are available, and a brief description of your robotics experiences.  Please include teams you have participated on, mentored and/or coached, along with your BX experience.  This will be forwarded to Mr. Hite at the ISD.

There will be student assistants from VIRUS and Monroe Jefferson as well. There will be a programming class led by Katherine Hite to train volunteers that may need brushing up (or teaching) on programming.

The camps will be held June 24-28, July 8-12, July 15-19, and July 22-26 from 9:00 - 3:00 each day.  Please remember that our own summer camp will be the July 29 - Aug. 2.

I do not want you to sign up for the MISD camps, if you sacrifice working at our camp.  Ours is our top priority.  If you are not working this summer, and are interested in getting some service hours, or you are just interested in working with Lego Robotics some more, it is a great opportunity.  It would look good on a resume, scholarship application, college application, and of course, Dean's List consideration.

I will have room to take 3 people with me (though I will not wait for anyone that oversleeps or isn't there on time).  I believe we have a couple of student volunteers that can also drive.  We would leave SRE around 8:00, and should be back by 3:30 - 4:00 each day.  Each week is a different group of 16 students.  On Fridays, we will be taking a field trip to a robotics business and having a award ceremony/presentation.  The first three weeks are 3rd - 8th graders.  The last week is high school aged students.

The first to be selected will be the students with the most experience able to volunteer all 5 weeks (4 at MCISD and 1 at BX).  Then we will start filling in gaps with students that can commit for any of the full weeks.  Then we will fill with those that can only work certain days.

It should be a lot of fun and a great experience.  Please get me the email asap.  I will start forwarding them to Mr. Hite at the ISD.  Please be professional in your letter because Mr. Hite will do final selections, so don't assume he knows you like I do. :)
