About This Activity
During our summer camp experiences, educators will immerse themselves alongside students, adopting the perspective of a learner with educator insight. Engaging fully in all activities and skills, they'll also serve as vigilant overseers for student safety. Through these paid externship opportunities, teachers will glean firsthand understanding of the skills, hurdles, and potential paths in diverse STEM fields. Our aim is for educators to re-enter classrooms invigorated and equipped to infuse their teaching with newfound knowledge and enthusiasm, igniting inspiration in their students. Students will explore and practice the skills needed to work safely with electricity. Learn about components and devices commonly used in electrical circuits, wire and test basic electrical circuits and use a digital multimeter to solve electrical problems. Students will learn to solder and wire an electrical outlet, switch and light. Students will travel to Presque Isle Electric to tour the facility and learn about career opportunities. Clothing requirements for safety: No open-toed shoes, sandals or flip flops, must have shoes/boots, shirts must have sleeves Please Note: To ensure equitable access, we kindly ask that each educator limits their initial registration to two externship opportunities. This will allow as many participants as possible to take advantage of these experiences. After the first two weeks of registration, we will open remaining spots to those interested in additional opportunities. Thank you for your understanding and support!
