Mind Trekkers Needs Volunteers
Mind Trekkers will be hosting two large scale road shows, and they are in need of many volunteers! Mind Trekkers is an organization that goes on the road to bring exciting, fun, hands-on science demonstrations to kids in places like Green Bay, WI, Oak Ridge, TN, and even Washington DC! Coming up, the Trekkers are headed to Illinois and Wisconsin — please consider helping out!
The first event is on Friday, April 12 at the College of Lake County (Grayslake IL). The Trekkers will leave Houghton on Thursday, April 11 at noon and return by 11:30 PM on Friday. Volunteers will get 18 recorded service hours, enjoy Key Line Cove water park, make new friends, and inspire kids to be excited about science, technology, engineering, and math! They are in need of a total of 50 volunteers, and there are plenty of spots open.
Just one week later, the Trekkers are headed to Green Bay and Appleton for a massive science and engineering extravaganza! There will be three days of Trekking — April 18, 19, and 20 — and the team will leave Houghton the Wednesday before. Everyone will drive back after the close of the event on the 20. Perks for this huge road show include: 34 volunteer service hours, a local waterpark offering us discounted admission, networking (we will be having a corporate dinner), shopping, and becoming part of the Mind Trekkers team.
If you are interested in volunteering for either/both of these events, please email Kim (kaduagus@mtu.edu) the following information:
Preferred name, Gender, Email, Phone number, Dietary restrictions, Hometown, Major, Shirt size
Everyone — all years, all ages, all majors, and all outreach experience levels — are encouraged to participate! Mind Trekkers provides training and demonstration information. Travel, lodging, and food stipends are provided on all Mind Trekkers trips. Sign up with a friend! Feel free to email Kim (kadaugus@mtu.edu) with any questions or concerns.
