Each One Counts Corps enthusiastically agreed to be a partner. May. These months were needed for preparation as details were ironed out, speakers were lined up, and the booths were designed. Teachers and AmeriCorps members worked together on the project, setting up each booth station in the school's gym.
Students attempt puzzles while blindfolded or wearing goggles with layers of plastic wrap.
On Monday through Thursday of fair week, students visited the booths during their physical education period. When each class came into the gym, a volunteer gave them a brief introduction along with rules for the period. Students were divided into groups to rotate through all the stations, allowing ten minutes per station. The booths were staffed by high school students and community volunteers recruited by AmeriCorps members. Detailed instructions were left at each booth so that volunteers could read the activities to be completed by the students.
