VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

The Math Science Nucleus is a diverse non profit organization that provides volunteer opportunities for scientists as well as children.  Although our headquarters are in Fremont, California the internet allows collaboration with partners throughout the world. Our mission and goal is clear.  Science provides the tools for children to observe, record, and think around the world.  The language or the culture of a group of children does not change the scope of how science can improve their critical thinking skills. Below are some ways if which you can help and join our dynamic team.  If interested fill a volunteer form and send to us.

Classes at the Math Science Nucleus Our classes for K-6 students are fun and full of science content. The subject ranges from physics, geology, biology, chemistry, and environmental sciences.  The classes are conducted at two facilities in Fremont.  Our Science Lab at 4074 Eggers Drive concentrates on physics, geology, space, and chemistry.  Tule Ponds at Tyson Lagoon Wetland Center, located at 1999 Walnut Ave, concentrates in outdoor environmental education.  Our SUMMER, 2007 class schedule is posted on our website.   If you like to work with children and help during our classes during the year or summer, please give us a call or email.  Contact Dr. Blueford if you would like to learn more

Translations of  Curriculum Materials The Integrating Science, Math, and Technology is used throughout the world.  We are always looking for people to help us translate the various storybooks or other materials for teachers and parents to use.

Science Nights at the Fremont Library Every other month we provide a science night at the Fremont Main Library.  The presentation centers around one of our interactive web books.  Volunteers would help when the children are set loose to do scientific activities.  Each event is about two hours total including set-up and clean-up.  We also need presenters that might like to do a program.
