A Bug’s World needs you: can you help?

A Bugs World
OARDC

A Bug’s World is the OSU Department of Entomology’s outreach event for 2nd and 3rd graders, taking place this year on March 6th and 7th at the Shisler Conference Center on the OARDC campus, 1680 Madison Ave., Wooster.

We need volunteers on one or both days to help the event run smoothly. Volunteers will help greet children and students, assist with sessions, and help direct classes from session to session.

All sessions are led by Entomology students, faculty and staff, and include the Bug Zoo (an up-close experience), Café Insecta (a chance to munch on flavorful critters), and other insect-themed experiences to teach children about the wonders of insects.

Volunteers are needed from 9:00 to 1:30, one day or both days.

What you’ll get: a fun day helping kids learn about insects, lunch, an awesome t-shirt and Denise’s eternal gratitude!

Your responsibilities:

Show up on time if you commit to participating.

Have fun and patience with the students.

Offer feedback on how we can improve the experience at the end of this year’s event.

To participate:  please fill out this form.

Thanks so much — we truly couldn’t do it without our wonderful volunteers!

If you know of other OSU volunteers (Master Gardeners, OCVN’ers or 4-H volunteers) who might like to help, please forward this message to them, or contact me and I’ll follow up.

As always, let me know if you have questions or suggestions: ellsworth.2@osu.edu

Hope to see you in March! ~Denise
