Volunteer Facilitators: After-School Tech & Entrepreneurship Program

Volunteer Facilitators: After-School Tech & Entrepreneurship Program

Help elementary school students turn their ideas into inventions. 3D Entrepreneurs Club (3DE Club) is looking for volunteers to support Inventor Academy, our hands-on after-school program for kids ages 8–12 in the Santa Cruz and Watsonville area.

What you’ll do

• Work alongside our instructors to help small groups brainstorm, sketch, and develop their inventions.
• Guide students as they try 3D design tools and turn their ideas into prototypes.
• Encourage teamwork and help students practice presenting what they made, who it’s for, and what they’d improve.

Who we’re looking for

You’re patient, dependable, and enjoy working with kids. Experience with teaching, art, making, Tinkercad, or 3D printing is welcome. Curiosity and a willingness to learn matter more than technical experience.

When: After school on weekdays. Sessions are typically two hours; share the days you’re available. This is an unpaid volunteer role. School-site volunteer clearance requirements apply.
