"Red Shirt" Corner
Mandi Rupp is one of our spectacular Board Members and a Red Shirt volunteer extraordinaire! In 2014 she even presented a session about electricity at STEMLink. Mandi is passionate about the students that SBC programs reach and she shows up in spades to help SBC plan a vision for its future and to advocate for its reach.
"I volunteer because I had limited access to some similar programs... and it really helped to expand my outlook on what I was capable of
doing and where I could go in life. My favorite SBC volunteer job is
anything that lets me either witness or be a direct part in helping the kids
learn and explore. Seeing the light bulb go off as the kids understand
something new is reason enough to bring me back for more! In the future, I would like to see SBC able to
take each and every kid that wants to go to an event. I would also like
to see more inclusion of kids from school districts with historically low
funding. I want everyone to know
how amazingly dedicated the staff at SBC are in regards to their mission. They strive every day to pull off these events with limited funding while
maximizing the number of kids that could benefit.
I volunteered at last year's STEMLink event and there was a
session on using mathematics to create beautiful fractals. There was a
young lady that was struggling with long division so I sat by her as we worked
through equations for a couple of minutes. At the end of the day, she
sought me out to give me a big hug and say thank you. I have never been a
teacher so to see the impact that even a tiny amount of guidance can provide to
a student was overwhelming. It makes it so evident that we need to
continue to live out the mission that SBC sets forth and provide additional
opportunities for teachers to educate their students." To nominate an SBC Red Shirt to be featured in the Red Shirt corner, please email Betsy Narr. |

Schedule your gift for Give to the Max Day today!
Any gift given after November 1... and on Give to the Max Day, November 17... will go to STEMLink!
SBC's goal is to keep costs to schools down while keeping the quality of our venues, session content, and expectation of the program high. We can't do that without your help. Your donation will help offset presenter costs, session supply costs, and keep registration fees for schools, educators, and students low.
