Let's Use Our Untapped Talent... Retired Engineers and Scientists.

Just imagine...  You are an eighth grade math or science teacher.  You have forty kids to teach in each of your five classes during the day.  You struggle to get through the lesson plan, much less to help every student in all of your classes.

Now let's change the equation.

You are the instructor, and you still have forty kids in each class to teach.   But you have ten helpers in your classroom who know the material, because they have sat through your lecture numerous times, and they could teach the material themselves, except they are not certified teachers.  They are retired scientists and engineers who care about kids, and they are patriotic.  They care about our the future of our country.

Why?  They know, more than most, what kind of knowledge and persistence is required by our technological society.  They know first hand the talent and skills which will be required to do well on an SAT or ACT exam to get into college, and to do well once they get in.

And finally, they know how important it is for the future of the United States to have smart young people who understand science and engineering and how the world works.

Are YOU a retired engineer or scientist?   Get involved!   Volunteer at your local High School or Middle School.   You can change the world, one child at a time!
