RAFT Volunteer Day

eric — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 15:35:13 +0000

Was on Oct. 4th 3-5pm

The first Great Education Colorado Volunteer Day was at the Resource Area for Teachers (RAFT), which provides a tangible, effective way to help kids and teachers. We did the set-up work. You put together low cost electric circuit kits and DNA models for teachers who need hands-on, interactive student experiences at bargain basement prices. All materials were donated from businesses who would normally discard the items. It’s a WIN/WIN for everyone! Check out our photos over on Flickr.
