[UWAB] Volunteer Opportunity with Barb Ericson

Sat Aug 18 13:04:26 EDT 2007

Dear Students,

We are looking for responsible, energetic, and friendly computing 
students who can help us introduce girls/women to computing using 
robots, arts and crafts for the digital age, and animation.  We work 
with both the girl scouts on the weekends and with the YWCA Teen Girls 
in Technology program at 3 area middle schools twice a week after 
school.  We still need people to work with the YWCA Teen Girls in 
Technology program.

For the YWCA program we need people that can work Tues and Thurs or Tues 
and Wed from 4-6pm (not including travel time of about 30 min). We are 
introducing the girls to computing using PICO Crickets (see 
http://www.picocricket.com/), LEGO Mindstorms robots (see 
http://mindstorms.lego.com/), Alice (see http://www.alice.org) and 
Scratch (see http://scratch.mit.edu/). We will pay for the time it takes 
you to learn these kits and software, prepare materials to use with the 
girls, travel to the schools, and time while working with the girls. We 
will send teams of 2 students to each school.  You don't have to go to 
the schools every week.

The schools are:
Shamrock Middle School, 3100 Mount Olive Drive, Decatur, Georgia 30033 
(up I-85 North from Tech about 12 miles)
Ralph Bunche Middle School, 1925 Niskey Lake Road, S.W. Atlanta, GA 
30331 (I-75/I-85 South from Tech about 16 miles)
Chapel Hill Middle School, 3535 Dogwood Farm Road, Decatur, Georgia 
30034 (20 East to Candler Rd, right on Candler Rd go 4.6 miles, Right on 
Dogwood Farm about 17 miles total from Tech).

You must be in good academic standing.  We pay an average of $12.00 an hour.

If you are interested please send Felicia Auzla fauzla at cc.gatech.edu a 
resume and at least one reference.  If you would like more information 
please come to an information meeting.  We will be holding information 
meetings at 10:00am and 1:00pm on Wed Aug 22nd and again at 10am and 1pm 
on Tues Aug 28th in room 109 of the College of Computing.

Thank You,
