We are Jit Jots, a passion project founded by UBC undergraduate science students. Our organization’s goal is to spread our love for science through hosting fun and engaging in-person workshops for community centre youth programs. These workshops are designed to inspire a passion for science in youth through experiment demonstrations by our team, hands-on activities, and activity sheets.
Currently, we are hoping to recruit Grade 9-12 students to join our volunteer team. After relaunching from a hiatus due to COVID-19, we are in need of enthusiastic and dedicated volunteers to help with the creation and design of workshops, as well as presenting the workshops to youth. Any Grade 9-12 student who is excited about science is encouraged to sign up for our volunteer team! Please feel free to check out our social media and website!
