Leo's Lab was developed over one year ago as an extension of a school wide science celebration. The lab is filled with hands-on activities and the students are encouraged to write about their visit. If you have an hour or two per week to spare, Leo's Lab could use you as a lab docent. You will work with small groups of children in the lab and provide guidance and supervision as they conduct their explorations and investigations.
Training is provided for each docent.
This is a great opportunity to work with children in a pleasant and creative atmosphere. The lab would also welcome any senior citizens or high school students who would like to volunteer, so please pass on this information to anyone that you feel would be interested in helping. This spring the lab is being updated and special events have been planned as extensions of the lab. We know that Leonardo Da Vinci loved exploring the concept of flight and developed several flying machines. A celebration of flight will be held in June with a school wide paper airplane challenge and a visit from the Virginia Science Museum's Traveling AirMobile.
