WOW That's Engineering Volunteers

Saturday, October 8, 2011
8:30am – 3:30pm
Bayside High School, 1901 DeGroodt Road SW, Palm Bay

All volunteers must register so we have your lunch choice, name tag and can assign you to a job.

Engineers and Scientists (including college students): If you would like to assist in a workshop module, and have a preference for which one, please indicate your preference from the list below. We cannot guarantee you will be assigned to a specific job. Workshop leaders are assigned early however workshop helpers are normally assigned 7-10 days prior to the workshop.

If you are not going to be available at 8:30 or stay all day, please let us know. If you are available on Friday afternoon or earlier than 8:30am on Saturday for setup, indicate that also.

High School Students: If you are volunteering for Community Service credit, be sure to bring the appropriate form for our volunteer coordinator to sign.

School Board Clearance: We need to have at least one person in each classroom that has been fingerprint-cleared by the Brevard School District. Please indicate if you have a current clearance with the schools or if you would be willing to get cleared. This requires going to the school district office in Viera during business hours Monday - Thursday.
