Mentors Needed for 4-H Tech Wizards Afterschool Program.

Join 4-H Tech Wizards for cool, hands-on, STEAM projects, weekly during the afterschool mentoring program for 3rd-4th grade Windsor students. Programming is Mondays from 3:30-5:30, at C.R. Weeks Elementary School. This program runs until December, 2018 and will host field trips during the summer months instead of meeting on Monday afternoons. Mentors are partnered up with a minimum of 4 youth, which we call a Pod.

STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) activities are based on the youth's interests. Some areas are Chemistry, Engineering, Art Projects, Electronics, Computer Science Activities. Currently the group is doing Scratch programming creating games, chemistry projects, using VR goggles to take virtual field trips, up-cycling plastic bags into Plarn to make reusable items, and building NXT robots. 

Mentors do not need any specific STEAM skills to join. However, you must enjoy working with 3rd and 4th graders, and want to be a supportive adult in their lives. For more information or to apply, contact Kelly Adams at [email protected], or call 607-772-8953. All mentors will be background checked.
