Volunteers Needed: High School Engineering and Science Programs
Help improve math, science and engineering education in local schools
EWB Portland is putting out a call for volunteers interested in working with local high school programs that promote extra-curricular education in math, science and engineering. One such program is Oregon Math Engineering Science Achievement (MESA). Oregon MESA is a pre-college academic program that engages 6th-12th grade students in hands-on, inquiry-based math, engineering, science and technology projects during weekly chapter meetings at school sites. The MESA Partnership Model connects students, teachers, schools and families with universities, community colleges, industry and government. In 2006, 92% of MESA graduating seniors pursued a college education.
