STEM Innovation Volunteer (Prototype + App Development) (Virtual Opportunity The Younger Legacy Ac

(Virtual Opportunity | The Younger Legacy Academy)

We are assembling a high-level, innovation-focused volunteer team to help build the next generation of youth STEM tools and digital learning technology under The Younger Legacy Academy’s Innovation Program.

This opportunity is for creative thinkers who enjoy designing, prototyping, coding, and bringing new ideas to life.

What You’ll Help Build

Volunteers will collaborate virtually on confidential STEM projects, including:

1. Electronics + Hardware Prototypes

• Early-stage sensor-based educational devices
• Modular circuit learning kits for hands-on STEM exploration
• Interactive youth learning tools that combine creativity, problem-solving, and technology

1. Mobile App Development (iOS + Android)

• A financial literacy learning app for young students
• ABC-style digital learning modules
• UI/UX development, animations, and App Store preparation
• Feature testing, coding support, and interface improvements

1. STEM Curriculum Tools

• Interactive digital challenges
• Hands-on experiment guides
• Creative tools for real-world learning

This is a virtual and flexible collaboration with weekly or bi-weekly progress check-ins.

Who This Is Perfect For

• Students in engineering, computer science, software development, robotics, or UI/UX
• Developers looking to build portfolio experience
• Product designers and makers who enjoy working on early prototypes
• Innovators, educators, and tech lovers driven by purpose

Requirements

• Ability to meet virtually (Zoom/Google Meet)
• Skill or interest in at least ONE of the following areas:

– App development (Swift, Flutter, React Native, etc.)

– Electronics / Arduino / Raspberry Pi / circuitry / prototyping

– 3D modeling or CAD

– UX/UI wireframing or design tools

– Coding, robotics, or game development

• Willingness to collaborate in a team environment
• Signed Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before receiving project details (to protect all innovation work)

What Volunteers Receive

• Certification of volunteer service hours
• A formal letter of recommendation
• Portfolio-building experience with real prototypes and app development
• Recognition as a contributor to YLA’s National STEM Innovation Program
• Opportunity to participate in building impactful youth STEM products

Time Commitment

Flexible: ideally 3–5 hours per week for 6–12 weeks

We work around your schedule.

Why This Project Matters

YLA is developing innovative STEM tools to help children learn:

• financial literacy
• technology fundamentals
• problem-solving
• engineering thinking
• real-world creativity

Your work will directly support young students and inspire the next generation of innovators.
