Science en Acción (SeA) is a spring break camp (April 8-11, 2026) for English learning/Spanish-English bilingual students who are interested in learning more about STEM and career opportunities at Berkeley Lab. Activities include tours of Berkeley Lab facilities, career talks with scientists, and workshops both at Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley. These events will be in English and Spanish.
We are seeking facilitators to work with students to support them through hands-on STEM activities. On Thursday (April 9), students will be using Foldscopes (portable microscopes) to look at various samples at the UC Botanical Garden. On Friday (April 10), students will be completing an introductory coding and circuitry activity.
No prior STEM expertise is needed for any of the activities. Volunteers will be asked to sign up for a one-hour workshop training session during the month of March (multiple dates will be offered). Although Spanish proficiency is not required (translators will be present), it is preferred.
All volunteers participating in K-12 programs must complete an online working with minors course, sign and submit a CANRA form, and pass a background check.
