            This month I managed to make up for a lot of the volunteer hours I was not able to complete in January and February. I continued to attend the STEM mentor program sessions at the Westbank Boys and Girls Club and increased my time to help with the chaotic homework sessions. The STEM sessions have been going very well since the children never lose excitement for legos. The team animal was decided as the cheetah, so the kids have been having fun learning them. The next major volunteer event was SuperSaurus Saturday at the Louisiana Children’s Museum. It was great event with a lot of enthusiastic kids interested in dinosaurs. My station with Melody focused on the T rex ancestor, the Allosaurus. Many of the students impressively already knew about the dinosaur, but all the kids enjoyed seeing the fossil of the Allosaurus head either way. It was fun day where I learned as much as the kids who came!
