Support free exploration of science materials, discuss questions and ideas, connect participants with more resources and opportunities. Support youth in developing their projects by brainstorming ideas, making them aware of materials and resources; when they get stuck, helping them to think it through, analyze the challenge, understand what is needed next, and persevere. Share knowledge about science, and maker skills and techniques. Be a consistent, supportive, positive presence in the children’s lives. Skills with tools or a background in science is desired but definitely not required. Facilitators should be curious, kind, and resourceful. Facilitators should have experience working with children and be able to connect effectively with diverse cultural, ethnic, and age groups.</span></div><br class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">Interested parties can apply </span><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1D-FIyuS2M_fN8zkSIjX2-rlRj4fBvb9YeN3lYclZKeQ" style="text-decoration-line:none" class=""><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;text-decoration-line:underline;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap" class="">using this link</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class=""> or email </span><a href="mailto:freescienceworkshop@gmail.com" style="text-decoration-line:none" class=""><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;text-decoration-line:underline;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap" class="">freescienceworkshop@gmail.com</span></a></span> <br clear="all" class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div>-- <br class=""><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:12.8px" class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Free Science Workshop </div><div class="">210 Hancock St. Ithaca, NY 14850</div></div><div style="margin:2px 0px 0px;font-size:12.8px" class=""><div class=""><img src="https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif" class=""></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
