 Museum Teacher Aides are volunteers who assist Museum Teachers and National Park Rangers at the Tsongas Industrial History Center present educational programs to visiting school groups. Aides help students to learn and perform a variety of hands-on activities in several different Tsongas Center workshops. More specifically, they teach students to weave, perform minor loom maintenance, and instruct students in pre-industrial textile production in one workshop. In another, they help students construct model canals and teach them to perform experiments with water wheels. In another, they act as laboratory assistants in an environmental lab. Aides always work with professional Museum Teachers. A commitment to work at least one four-hour day per week is required. Aides are supervised by the Supervisory Park Ranger for education at Lowell National Historical Park. The ability to work well with students in grades four through eight is required. Some knowledge of US history is useful, but not required. This opportunity is sponsored by: Lowell National Historical Park
