*“Stellar Girls” after-school programming – Speakers and Mentors*

* *

Description: For 20 weeks, since September, teachers from 11 Chicago middle
schools will provide “Stellar Girls” after-school programming for students
one day each week for about 1.5 hours.  We are seeking 70+ volunteers to
support this program. Our volunteers will give girls the visibility to
women and men working in STEM careers and serve as role models for the
development of the girls’ future career paths.



We are asking volunteers to lead presentations. We will provide all lesson
plans, presentations, and materials for the volunteers.



Volunteer opportunities include:



1)     “Comet Speakers”: Provide a general topic presentation and conduct a
related hands-on experiment with students at one of the schools. Topics are
pre-selected and all materials for associated hands-on activities are
provided. Descriptions of activities and school locations attached. Total
engagement 2.5 hours (1 hour preparation, 1.5 hours with students). URGENT!



2)     “Nova Mentors”: Nova Mentors serve as role models in STEM careers
for girls.  Each mentor will select one Stellar Girls school to provide
on-going inspiration and encouragement for lead teachers and participating
students. In this role, mentors may participate in a variety of activities
including: kick-off, parent-night or share-out events, provide information
on additional opportunities for girls or provide career information.
