Alabama Power iCan

BEAM Event – Friday, October 5th from 8:30 – 2:30 in the 12th Street Auditorium at APC HQ

This event is designed to introduce 7th grade students from Birmingham Public Schools to career opportunities in the energy sector with an emphasis on careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). The event will include participation from the American Association of Blacks in Energy (AABE), the Birmingham Education Foundation (ED), the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), corporate volunteers and university volunteers. iCan volunteers are needed to operate a booth with circuit board activities to interest students in STEM careers. We are looking for 2-4 volunteers in the morning and 2-4 volunteers in the afternoon.
If you would like to participate in either of these events or want more information, please reply back to this e-mail.

Girl Scouts of North Central Alabama

STEM Fest—Saturday, November 3rd from 10:00-2:00 at Camp Coleman

Girl Scouts of North Central Alabama is hosting a STEM fest at Camp Coleman in Trussville, AL on Saturday, November 3 2018. We are looking for agencies/ businesses to participate in the event by having a demonstration about a STEM subject. The event will be an expo style event, so demonstrations will be at a table and will only need to last a few minutes. There will be opportunities to present on the stage for more detailed demonstrations. Since the event will take place at Camp Coleman, demonstrations can also be done using the property’s natural features including the Cahaba River. The property has plenty of room near the expo building for outside exhibits as well.
