The NFB Youth Slam program is a weeklong learning opportunity for high school students in a wide-variety of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines. In order to make this program a success we need your help! Please help us engage, inspire, and encourage the next generation of blind scientists, engineers, programmers, and mathematicians to consider STEM careers. While some falsely believe these careers are not for blind students, the NFB is here to transform dreams into reality. <br> <br>Volunteers are needed to help our students learn new skills, build confidence, and increase their science literacy. They can serve in a variety of capacities including: helping to prepare materials, teaching a class, providing support to students both in and outside of class, helping execute program logistics (i.e., set up and tear down, material distribution), providing navigational support for students (i.e., talking signs), etc. Volunteers will be needed Friday, July 21 - Saturday, July 29, 2017.<br> <br>The deadline to apply is Friday, February 17. Visit <a href="https://nfb.org/youth-slam-volunteer-application">https://nfb.org/youth-slam-volunteer-application</a> to apply now!
