Mission Statement
The Scott Johnson Engineering Club (SJEC) is a...
student-led teacher facilitated, after-school initiative that encourages and promotes engineering concepts, practices and principles. (Say that 3 times real fast :)
The SJEC embraces a safe relaxed environment for intrinsically motivated students whom share common interests with active and creative minds that like to:
- research topics of interests
- play games
- learning and creating
- perhaps competing in various engineering disciplines while having fun.
Special Interests
If your child wants to build items such as small rockets, birdhouses, dragsters or some other kit, then they would have to either bring their own kit or order one through our Engineering Booster Club. The club will make every effort to try to provide the necessary tools to support in building these projects upon requests.
Mentors / Leaders / Parents
We truly need for parents to be involved in any engineering disciplines as well as non-technical areas. If you are a parent, we would welcome your support. For an example, if you enjoy any specific area that is either a career or a hobby, it would be a wonderful for you to share that interest in an informal setting. We would also enjoy arranging for special events by companies, small businesses and individuals.
Eyes, Just Eyes
Additional eyes are always welcomed in any after school activity as "Safety is our First Priority." If you are available on a regular basis - great!!! BUT if you might come one Monday afternoon here and there, we would place it on our calendar to be that extra set of eyes. Please let me know.
As always, you will need to complete a simple online "Volunteer" background check. The online application may be found at: http://www.mckinneyisd.net/parents/volunteer/
