Volunteering Opportunities
Two types of volunteering services are needed to help the initial research project for the determination of K12 age-possible engineering topics and its advertisement with relevant stakeholders. Since one of the
primary goals of the Vision Paper is to solve the problem of
under-representation of some minority group as well as women of all ethnic
groups, affirmative action policy will be applied in the recruitment of student
volunteers to make sure that all under-represented ethnic groups and both
genders are represented. Preferably,
students will be recruited from the student chapters of the College Student Engineering Organizations (Gender or Race-based) category.
Volunteer student typists
for Math-based Engineering formulas
Task: To accelerate the research project, student volunteers could be recruited to work as typists for the task of
typing formulas in the research data tables. Based on the rough estimate of the
numbers of formulas to be typed from several college-level engineering
textbooks, and on a timed typing exercise, it takes about 2 minutes for typing
and checking one formula, and an average of about 8 working days for one
textbook in the “Task of Primary Urgency” category, and about 4 working days
for one textbook in the “Task of Secondary Urgency” category. For the
completion of the additional research, there are 10 textbooks in the “Task of
Primary Urgency” category in need of 40 student volunteers, and 12 textbooks in
the “Task of Secondary Urgency” category in need of 30 student volunteers; each
student volunteer will contribute 2 days to work on typing formulas. Each student volunteer will contribute up to two day to work on this public relations project.
Rewards: In exchange, participating students could be given credit in the Acknowledgment page of the SCHOLAR STEAM K12 Plus website, issued a Certificate of Research Participation together with a Letter of Recommendation, attend a three-day FREE workshop to learn how to type formulas in Microsoft Word, to build a portfolio website using the Weebly hosting service and to use Adobe Photoshop software to create digital photographic works artistic enough for the purpose of engineering and technology design presentations with high professional quality comparable to those found in the SCHOLAR STEAM K12 Plus website; in this case, I will request a local community college in Southern California to provide a computerized classroom with Microsoft Word and Adobe Photoshop software programs and Internet access. Student volunteers’ websites will also be linked from the SCHOLAR STEAM K12 Plus website.

Volunteer Student Public Relation Assistants
Task: Volunteers are needed to help introducing this website to (1) political leaders at Federal, State and Municipal levels, especially those involved in K12 education reform; (2) college and high school administrators, professors/instructor and researchers in STEAM fields; (3) corporate management interested in the improvement of STEAM education; (4) any citizen of good intentions interested in the training of the next generations of socially responsible, ecologically conscious, and highly innovative American STEAM leaders and professionals; and (5) any charitable, social service, labor, business, civil rights, and other groups and institutions interested in making the United States a better and stronger nation through active promotion of social justice and sustainable economic growth. Student volunteers will help searching for relevant institutions and contact the officers in charge to spread the message about this website and its research outcomes.
Rewards: Same policies as in the "Volunteers Student Typist for Formulas" category will apply.
