STEM Education Facilitator

STEM Education Facilitators perform a critical role in providing a playful space where field trip visitors can explore puzzling problems, design imaginative solutions, and where failure is simply part of the creative learning process. With training in pedagogy and content, they bring STEM to life, helping students make lasting connections between what they learn in the classroom, the natural world, and the inherent human capacity to solve real-world problems. Through this volunteer engagement, an individual has the unique opportunity to engage curious young minds with the thrill of immersive, hands-on STEM education.

Specifically, STEM Education Facilitators collaborate with a team of Museum staff and volunteers to facilitate the STEM Lab program, a drop-in space where K-12 field trip visitors can engage in open-ended, hands-on science, technology, engineering, or math activities. Using these activities, volunteers will inspire learning, support Museum exploration, and foster in-depth engagement with science, technology, engineering, and math. During Fall 2025, the STEM Lab activities will be themed around the special exhibition Mysteries of the Ice Ages and our long-term exhibit A Climate of Hope. If interested, volunteers can assist in activity development and evaluation. Must be willing to participate in one-on-one meetings with supervisor to ensure performance.
