STUDENTS
Middle and high school students and 2-4 year college students can virtually volunteer by creating math and STEM walks for interested groups. Examples: this video series was developed by a high school Girls in STEM group for an elementary school. This video series was developed by a high school junior as a capstone project. This video series was developed by an engineering undergraduate student for local school groups who visit the college campus.
