AGENDA
➔ As we welcome the 6th graders, we distribute them into glow stick colors (two
volunteers)
➔ Agni & Pranathi will start with an introduction and slide presentation (about 10
mins)
◆ Meanwhile volunteers will make sure that their booths are all ready
➔ Disperse into groups (based on colors) and start the teaching experience/activity at
the booth
◆ Each booth is 10 mins long with a 2 min transition period. (make sure to wrap
up fast, so transition is easy).
➔ After all seven booths, we will have a conclusion statement and award any winners
from the activities with prizes
 ➔ Lastly, cleanup and heading back (hopefully we wrap everything up by 11:00)
