This is the program that started it all. Pairs of volunteers are assigned a Grade 4, 5, or 6 classroom that they are expected to go to at least once a month to do a one-hour science activity.
All materials are supplied in ready-to-go bins.
You must also help with at least two fundraisers during the year.
Must be available for at least two hours between 9:00am and 3:00pm on a weekday.
Volunteers are expected to attend a mandatory training session at the end of September / beginning of October and do at least five presentations during the year.
