Volunteers Needed - Escape From Gilligan's Island

@ Kent-Evergreen Girls Scouts
Maple Valley and Renton
The Kent-Evergreen Girl Scout Day Camp in the Maple Valley/Renton area will be challenging their
campers this year to create life raft prototypes to 'escape from Gilligan's Island.'
They are looking for volunteers to come in and teach the campers the basic scientific and engineering
principles behind design, buoyancy, surface tension, etc. as well as guide them through their building
process.
Volunteers would be needed from about 9:45-3:45 on August 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. They would be teaching
6 different groups a day in about 30 minutes sessions (very little teaching, much more doing).
If you have questions or are interested in being a part of the fun and exciting STEM activities during
camp, please contact Sonja Griffing at griffingds@yahoo.com.
