We will need a force of atleast 4 (four) volunteers at each class. However, it would be great if all of us could join in for the initial classes as it would help us in getting familiar with the museum officials, exhibits and most importantly the children.

We will have to prepare an exhaustive list of the museum exhibits and then matching of the list with the curriculum shared by Pradeep Sir. - Some of us will meet at the Science Center on Saturday (at around 1 pm) for this activity. Narendra and Manisha Sharma will do the same on Sunday for the exhibits which we will not be able to cover on Saturday. Please find attached herewith the detailed curriculum for The Museum School. Request you to keep the confidentiality of this curriculum.
Pradeep sir would share with us the formats for taking attendance and also the format for capturing the volunteer details and exhibits taught (also in what manner). Later after a couple of classes, Shibani Mam would guide us in assessing the knowledge of children and then dividing them into groups.
I will speak to Sampada/Donali (Teachers of Akanksha Center) regarding our responsibility towards the children, for getting them from their Akanksha center to science center. Also, we will need to ask the children their willingness to have the class on Sundays as we will have more volunteers available on Sundays.
Please find attached herewith an excel sheet containing contact numbers of all the volunteers to help easily contactability.
You all may speak to your friends and colleagues who might be interested to volunteer and join us for this great cause.
