New York Hall of Science

New York Hall of Science presents Volunteers TryScience (VolTS) in partnership with the IBM Corporation, Association of Science-Technology Centers, the National Science Digital Library, and the Institute of Electrical Engineers. A model for museums nationwide, this project will cost-effectively provide resources and training programs that facilitate the involvement of volunteer content experts to advance learning communities. The project will result in: downloadable lesson plans, presentation and teaching tips, courses for volunteers and volunteer coordinators, tools for volunteer management and recognition, and a communication platform that allows educators in diverse settings to share relevant information.
