Volunteer Opportunities

SECME is a national program that promotes academic achievement in Science, Engineering, Communication and Mathematics Education with rocketry, robotics, racing mousetrap powered vehicles, and balsa bridge building. Seminole SECME students mentor middle and elementary schools with their engineering competition entries; for example, we partner with the Pierce Hammock Panther team. High school students must provide their own transportation to school sites. For more information, please visit seminolesecme.blogspot.com, or contact Erich Landstrom at seminolesecme[at]gmail[dot]com .

Wednesdays from 3:00 – 4:30 PM
