What other volunteer participation ideas can Pioneers bring to the entity that receives Project Connect to support the experience?
• Conduct a poster contest on the subject matter of the games. • Schedule a field trip to the telecom company for a tour of the network operations center, a server farm or another system that will help the student develop a context on which to build their understanding of the concepts delivered through Project Connect. • Choose one of the 7 game topics and have the kids research this topic on the Internet, using the approved search protocol at their user location. Have them write a newspaper article to produce a presentation for their peers. • Have the users give a presentation on the games to their parents as a means of demonstrating the way certain technologies work or the benefits they provide. • Hold a high score contest and give prizes to the winners. • Bring additional tools related to the game topics covered in Project Connect. For example, Pioneers can bring and talk about a GPS receiver, a piece of fiber optic cable, a device that uses compression such as an iPOD, or a cellula
