Since 2005, they have engaged with more than 150,000 volunteers and saved the community nearly 30 million dollars through volunteer time and materials. Those who attend will make “sneaky STEM” necklaces that will be donated to local high schools in underserved areas. Uplifting messages will be strung with beads using Morse code. Be sure to sign up for this event and give back to the New Orleans community! Letters of confirmed attendance will be provided upon request, which may be particularly attractive for residents seeking serve hours.
