IEEE STEM Summer Project
Teach Youth Electricity & Electronics in the WV Mountains

Two weeks this summer Â* Â* July 15-29, 2017

Can you help us raise the awareness and understanding of technology and its
impact on society among middle and high school students from around the
world? TheÂ*IEEE emeritbadges ProjectÂ*is a global pre-university technology
education program for boys and girls. emeritbadges has developed a program
to foster the accomplishment of its vision around the Electricity Merit
Badge and the Electronics Merit Badge programs. A group of thirty (30)
volunteers is needed to implement most of the project objectives at the
2017 National Jamboree at the Summit Bechtel Reserve in Glen Jean, West
Virginia from 15 – 29 July 2017. The Jamboree will be attended by thousands
of boys and girls from around the world. YOU are needed to staff the
Electricity and Electronics Merit Badge booth in the STEM Quest area at the
2017 National Jamboree.

ContactÂ*Ralph W. RussellÂ*to ask for details regarding volunteering to spend
two (2) weeks in the scenic West Virginia mountains adjacent to the New
River Gorge National River area to teach boys and girls the basics of
electricity and electronics.

Sounds like fun, and Im guessing that if they get enough volunteers, you
wouldnt have to be there for the entire two weeks. Oddly, emeritbadges.org
doesnt seem to work, but the program does have a Facebook page.
