Ways to get involved for students, parents, schools, partners, and more.
Volunteer With Us
Are you a university student majoring in STEM or the Arts or a professional in a STEM or Arts field? Art Technically is seeking workshop leaders for STEM and Arts workshops at schools and student organizations and virtually across the US. We are especially seeking volunteers with Computer Science, Engineering, and Music backgrounds. Be the change in a young student’s life by working with K-12 students directly! If interested, send your resume to team@arttechnically.org. You will be required to pass a Criminal Background Check.
Art Technically is also seeking volunteer curriculum writers from all backgrounds (STEM and Arts/Media) and Technical Consultants (Computer Science, Engineering, and Physics). If you have an idea for a STEM or Arts workshop or see an existing workshop you’d like to work on, contact lily@arttechnically.org.
Currently, we are seeking curriculum writers for the following workshops:
- Digital Drawing with Sketchbook (A short workshop on drawing in the digital space using AutoDesk Sketchbook (software free for students and educators). Students will learn the ins and outs of digital drawing and produce digital artwork.)
- Maps: Cartography to CAD (Students will learn map-making starting with traditional cartography and ending with Computer-Aided Design with an option to delve into Geographic Information Systems for older or more experienced students.)
- Introduction to Animation (An exploration of 2D animation (frame by frame drawing) and 3D animation with Blender.)
- Anatomy for Artists (An anatomy lesson specifically for people-drawing.)
- Physics of Photography (From pin-hole cameras to modern DSLRs.)
- Meteorology (Explores the science of weather forecasting and broadcast journalism.)
K-12 Schools and Partner Organizations
Are you a K-12 school, after-school or summer program, or student serving organization? Art Technically works for you!
Art Technically workshops are always free and include workshop-specific materials and trained workshop leaders. We hold four different kinds of workshops: on-site in-class workshops, on-site after-school workshops, off-site workshops, and remote workshops (via Zoom). We offer remote workshops for schools and organizations across the United States and in-person workshops in New York, New England (Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island), Tennessee, the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia), Florida, Texas, and surrounding areas.
