Volunteers wanted for Chicago youth LEGO Club!

[Eilif]

Hey Folks,

As some of you know I run Building In Lawndale (BILd) a club for 3rd Grade boys here in the Chicago neighborhood of North Lawndale. It's a weekly club that meets with 10 pre-selected students from 6-8PM on Thursdays for 10 weeks. Our object is to use LEGO for education and character development. I'm looking for one or two volunteers that would be interested in participating as a co-leader for 5 to 10 of the sessions.

Hinkley myself and two other AFOL's were the leaders last year, but Hinkley got hired by some amusement park and had to move to California so he is not able to participate. I know it's short notice, but the first session will be on October 1st. However, if you can't make that session, it's ok. I'll work with your schedule, but I would hope that volunteer instructors could come to at least 5 of the sessions.

Lastly, we are also looking for Guest Presenters to do special 1-time presentations. If you have a LEGO activity or special LEGO skill that you would like to present, we'd love to have you give a special presentation to the boys.

I'd be happy to answer any questions about the program here or via PM. I also have the original project proposal and last session's Annual report that I can email anyone who might be interested!

Same here, I would love to help, but I'm too far away.

Even if you can't meet this thursday, if you're insterested in participating, PM me anyway.

Thanks.
