We are looking for fun, interactive sessions for our 2024 program! Please consider participating by offering a 60-minute hands-on session targeted toward 8-13 year-old children (and their grandparents/parents/adults). If you have idea but would like to discuss how to make a topic age appropriate, we are happy to discuss with you!
Sessions can be offered once or twice based on your availability. If you are interested in leading a session but believe you need more than 60 minutes, we can schedule your class as a part I and part II, giving two 60 minute sessions (120 minutes total). If you believe your class would be ideally suited for a 90 minute time frame, please contact the ACES Alumni Office for consideration. Funds will be provided to reimburse for session supplies on a per person basis, up to $10 per person, as needed.
If you or someone you know are interested in participating, please complete the form at the below link by Friday, February 1. We will be accepting a variety of sessions in several areas to represent the full breadth of our college.
