Maker Fellow VISTA @Southwestern Ohio Council for Higher Edu
 
 
 
The Makers + Mentors Network (MMN), a STEM initiative of Citizen Schools, is partnering with community colleges, nonprofits, school districts, and minority serving institutions to run the Maker Fellows program. This position is located in Dayton, OH and is hosted by Southwestern Ohio Council for Higher Education (SOCHE). SOCHEengage collaborates with higher education institutions, industry, and community partners to provide critical maker-cenetered career exploration opportunities for K12 students to prepare them to successfully transition from high school to the workforce, military, or advance education programs. These opportunities include multiple in school, after school and experiential learning engagements. The Maker Fellow will work with K12 schools, many of which are military-connected to identify needs for strengthening current maker-cenetered programming and create new workforce education opportunities via crucial partnerships and unique programming. As a Maker Fellow, you will join a cohort of 26 AmeriCorps VISTA members placed at leading organizations across the country and participate in a year-long structured and collaborative learning pathway. Benefits include a living stipend of $14,960/year, a $400/month housing stipend, a Segal Education Award of $6,195 upon successful completion or end of year cash stipend of $1,800, healthcare coverage, and child care subsidy.

Member Duties : This program will connect K-12 students to maker-centered learning opportunities that help students build the academic and social emotional skills key to their success in school, postsecondary enrollment and workforce placement. Maker Fellows, through service in their local communities and participation in targeted professional development, will become life-long leaders and champions of maker-centered learning and mentorship for under-served students. Maker-centered learning provides a unique chance for students to explore the real world through designing, hacking, building, and experimenting, through the use of digital design and fabrication technologies and makerspaces. Fellows work in capacity building roles and support direct programming, such as developing and enhancing new maker-centered learning programming, partnering with school districts to redesign high school CTE pathways and supporting the development of local communities of practice for faculty and educators.
