Volunteers are needed in 2-hour shifts to cover the weekend. A sign-up sheet is attached. Engineers Week is the perfect time to bring engineering to life for kids, educators, and parents. Please help us make a difference here in Central Pennsylvania. Note for volunteers: Whitaker Center has provided guidelines for family members who wish to help out. Children in grades 9-12 who attend with an adult volunteer and plan to help with the activities will receive free admission to the science center for the day. Please refrain from bringing smaller children unless you are personally able to supervise them during the event and pay for their admission. Please forward your society’s list of volunteers by Friday, February 10 to Sue Benjamin at: [email protected]
