Get involved

Three ways in

Eaglets runs because students show up and do the work, and because schools and sponsors make it possible. Pick whichever of these is you.

  • Volunteer or join

    Who it is for
    Students who want to build and teach
    Commitment
    A few hours a week, heavier around camps

    Assemble and test kits, learn the curriculum, and help teach younger students at camps and outreach events.

  • Apply for a leadership role

    Who it is for
    Students ready to own a piece of the program
    Commitment
    2 to 4 hours a week, plus events

    4 officer roles are open right now. Officers run the technical, financial, and program sides of a real education program.

    See open officer roles

  • Sponsor the program

    Who it is for
    Businesses, foundations, and individuals
    Commitment
    One-time or ongoing

    Fund a specific piece of access: kits in students’ hands, or an outreach program at a school that could not otherwise host one.

Three students plan a robotics activity together at a table with Eaglets kit boxes.

What it is actually like

Less glamorous than it sounds and more rewarding than you would expect. A lot of it is testing kits, rehearsing a lesson until it makes sense to a nine-year-old, and packing boxes the night before a camp.

Then a student who has never wired anything gets their robot to turn the corner, and you remember why the boxes mattered.
