On Monday, July 21, 2025, members of the Newtown Branch of AYLUS dedicated their time from 7:45 AM to 11:45 AM volunteering at the FabLab Center (One Ivybrook Blvd., Ste 190, Warminster, PA). FabLab is a STEAM learning center where children and youth of all ages are able to explore various technologies and skills related to science, engineering, art, and math.
Our volunteers began the day by conversing and getting to know the campers during their morning drawing activity, which helped create a more social and friendly environment. When the first learning block began, our volunteers were separated to help manage each of two groups of kids, accompanying them and answering any questions they had. One volunteer assisted with the Minecraft camp, assisting the participants with their coding task and any questions they had during the activity. Our other two volunteers assisted the drone camp, passing out materials and helping any campers who had issues assembling the drones.
The event was very successful, with students being satisfied with their Minecraft and drone creations and having fun. Volunteers were able to connect with the campers, creating a fun and social environment for learning.
Members who participated were Diana Zhang (Event Leader), Ryan He, and Daniel Tang, all for 4 hours.
