Summary
Cambridge STIMULUS (Science Technology Informatics and Mathematics Links between University and Schools) is a community service programme, giving university students the opportunity to work regularly with pupils in local schools, assisting experienced teachers for a couple of hours a week.
Description
STIMULUS will arrange a school placement for you at a time in the week when you are available, and give you some training and support to help children in the age group of your choice. Volunteers normally help the same class(es) each week so that they get to know the pupils. They provide valuable support, giving many youngsters more individual help and attention than teachers are able to give on their own.
Volunteers choose the age range of pupils they wish to work with and opt for Science, Mathematics, Information Communication Technology (ICT) or Technology classes.
As well as supporting the work of class teachers by helping individuals and small groups, volunteers wishing to do so may plan and carry out short practical projects with groups of pupils. Students who wish to participate can apply by completing the on-line application form available at www.stimulus.ucam.org/njoin.html
