Girl Scouts STEM Support Needed

Posted on by

Hello! We are looking for some volunteers to help with the STEM Fest hosted by Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts on Saturday May 3, 9 am – 1 pm at Camp Cedar Hill in Waltham, MA. The event is for Girl Scouts grades K-12, and no Girl Scout affiliation is needed to volunteer.

We will set up a station where Girl Scouts can learn about amateur radio and send a radiogram to their family, if they choose. It would essentially be a radiogram-centric GOTA station. Specific modes/bands would depend on who volunteers.

There’s a need for two types of helpers:

1. On-site volunteers who could help interact with Girl Scout troops, answer questions about amateur radio, and operate our equipment (or yours) to send radiograms out from the site.

2. At-home volunteers at their home stations during that time who could receive our radiogram messages and pass them further into NTS nets (or deliver them locally, if appropriate).

Please let me know if you are interested, and feel free to pass on this request to others. Constructive suggestions are always welcome.

Thanks and 73,

Jessie KC1SLQ
