GHCC/CEO - Afterschool Robotics Coordinator
 
 
 
The Center for Educational Outreach (CEO) was established by the Whiting School of Engineering at Johns Hopkins University to develop educational and outreach programs directed towards underrepresented groups in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). The goal of the Center is to increase the number of youth who pursue STEM education and careers, particularly women and underrepresented minorities. STEM based career placements are on the rise, and represent an opportunity for people to escape poverty. The goal of this project is to create sustainable community-based robotics programs for Baltimore City School children who may not otherwise have the opportunity to engage in STEM enrichment programs. The VISTA will work with the Center to run a pilot program in the Harwood neighborhood, using the 29th Street Community Center as the home base. During the course of the project the VISTA will create training manuals to be used by other communities that want to create a community-based robotics program. This position is sponsored by Greater Homewood Community Corporation (GHCC) in Baltimore, MD; and the VISTA member will serve with the Center for Educational Outreach in Baltimore, MD. GHCC serves as the VISTA Project Sponsor to more than 20 nonprofit, government, and community organizations throughout Baltimore City and Maryland. Established in 1969 to help neighborhoods become safer, better places to live, GHCC's mission is to build and strengthen vibrant urban communities. GHCC will provide support to the Center for Educational Outreach and the VISTA member throughout the year, including recruitment, training, professional development opportunities, and resources.
