NERDS
Purpose: NERDS (Nurturing Educational Readiness and Development from the Start)
is a nonprofit organization that offers CPS students tutoring and after school
programming. This year, they are in need of student volunteers to tutor in their
robotics program and do general tutoring. The robotics program gives students from
grades 4-7 experience with EV3 Lego Mindstorm robotics and teaches them basic
programming, team building and leadership skills. However, many of the CPS students need
help with general tutoring. There are also other opportunities available for students
with no robotics or coding experience including volunteer coordinator and curriculum
planning!
