Build teaching experience, inspire the next generation … volunteer for high school coding camps
This summer, Argonne’s Educational Programs is hosting a five-day coding camp for high school students, Coding for Science (June 15-19, 2026) and we are seeking coding volunteers. Sessions will be held at the Learning Center in Building 360. Students learn the basics of Python and delve into computational thinking in an engaging environment that allows them to work together and with Argonne staff and scientists to solve problems and explore potential careers in this growing field. Volunteers help students understand and debug their code. Argonne’s coding camps help us inspire and build skills in the next generation of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) problem solvers.
No prior experience in Python or teaching is required, but coding experience is helpful. Our education staff will provide guidance on facilitating interactions with students. Time commitment can be as little as 2 hours, or more depending on your interest and availability.
