Top 5 Reasons to Volunteer at SCI://TECH

CONROE, Texas -- We are excited to kick off SCI://TECH 2019 in just over a week with the Anadarko Senior High Science Bowl and the Private School Science Fair! With 13 events and nearly 5,000 kids participating over four weekends, there's one thing we could use to ensure a sucessful year: YOU! Here are five reasons why your gift of time matters. Register today!





5. Doing good makes you feel better! In the Doing Good is Good for You study, 75 percent of respondents said they feel physically healthier by volunteering and 93 percent reported and improved mood. (For those who like data, here's the report.)



4. There’s something for everyone! If science isn’t your thing, don’t worry. By judging the Junior High Fair, you can be comforted that it is the students' job to explain their discoveries to you. Plus, we offer an on-site orientation to help answer your questions. If science and technology excites you, consider judging the Senior High Fair and prepare to be impressed by what the students know!



3. You have a full collection of SCI://TECH volunteer mugs, and you don’t want to miss the latest model. We can't wait to see your #WhereSTEMGetsItsRoots mug shot!

2. You have the ability to inspire! Interactions with positive adult role models matter. EfTA was founded on that premise, and YOU have the opportunity to encourage kids to explore and ask questions about their world. Who knows what these kids will go on to discover?

1. You just might learn something new!
