DUCSTeach is a student led team of volunteers from Drexel University working with local schools, both middle and high school, as well as our own Drexel communities to make STEM and CS approachable. Our current efforts are based on St. Francis de Sales school located near 47th and Baltimore. Our project started as a CS 164 Honors Project and has continued ever since. We're now looking to expand our program to more people from the College of Engineering. Volunteer duties include:
- Providing technical support to teachers and faculty of St. Francis both in person and by email
- Volunteering to assist in teaching classes or leading clubs in technology related fields (website design, app development, etc.) with students ranging in age from 1st to 8th grade
- Helping coordinate the integration of technology into classrooms by assisting teachers in learning about and applying interactive programs, websites, and presentations
- Be available for meetings with CS department coordinators, St. Francis faculty, and DUCSTeach student managers
If you would like to join our volunteering efforts for credit for UNIV 101 (only if you're in the College of Engineering), to just be philanthropic, or to learn more about our program, you can do so by emailing Dan Ziegler, group organizer, at [email protected], or Alliy Frauenpreis, student coordinator, at [email protected]. Our philanthropic efforts are partially funded and supported by the Lindy Center and the Computer Science Department at Drexel University. We are advised by the amazing Dr. Jeffrey Lee Popyack and Julie Fisher from the CS department. Thanks much to all of them for their support.
