Education Volunteers

STEM: STEM education volunteers lead interactive hands-on activities around science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) topics, igniting visitors’ curiosity and learning. They interact with visitors on the museum floor using prepared learning kits as teaching tools. STEM volunteers inspire unique learning experiences by encouraging visitors to predict, question, and iterate through activity experimentation. STEM volunteers are knowledgeable about science, technology, engineering, or math, ready to add to their body of knowledge, and passionate about sparking enthusiasm about these topics with others. 

GALLERY: Gallery education volunteers create a welcoming environment for visitors and groups in our gallery spaces by sharing knowledge, answering questions about museum exhibits, and monitoring exhibit functionality. They enjoy connecting with people and are passionate about science, technology, cultural heritage, the environment, and engaging visitors with our hands-on exhibits. Gallery volunteers are excited to start a conversation, are always willing to learn more, and look forward to helping our visitors have the best possible experience while they’re here.

Every education volunteer begins by learning about RMSC’s history, completing safety training and Museum orientation, and working with our educators on staff to learn informal engagement strategies. If you enjoy connecting with people and are passionate about science, technology, cultural heritage, the environment, and working with hands-on exhibits, then being part of the education volunteer team is the place for you!
