BBC Learning at the Quay-Digital Learning Zone Event – Volunteer Call Out

Volunteers needed to help out during the Commonwealth Games at :

Digital Learning Zone Event 26-30 July 2014

BBC Learning will be rolling up at BBC Pacific Quay in Glasgow for five days from Saturday 26th July to Wednesday 30th July.

Over the five days learning will deliver inspirational content for young people and families, focused around one of Learning’s key priorities – digital creativity.  The activities will draw on content created earlier in the year for the Big Bang Fair in Birmingham.  There will also be additional material created in conjunction with BBC1’s Waterloo Road based around numeracy and health.

The idea is to offer interactive, fun taster sessions based on one of the Sherlock Holme’s games as well as partner introductory coding activities.

Looking for volunteers to help out on any of the above days.  You don’t need to be an expert in technology or online stuff as we will have people available to cover this, but are looking for people who are outgoing and confident talking to the public and families.

Volunteers need to be at least 18 years of age and if possible live within reasonable travelling distance from Glasgow. (reasonable travelling expenses will be reimbursed)

If you would like to volunteer please email Catherine Garvie – catherine.garvie@bbc.co.uk with your preferred day/s where you live and a contact telephone number.
