Volunteer Spotlight
Ella Geisler
How did you first learn about the Children's Science Center Lab?
I first learned about the Children’s Science Center Lab when I was younger and had an amazing time when I visited.
Tell us a little bit about yourself.
Some things about me are that I am a rising senior, my favorite color is blue, and I love science. In my free time, I like to cook and crochet.
What do you enjoy most about volunteering with the Lab?
I enjoy the excitement kids feel when participating in the activities the Lab offers. They are always so engaged, interested in what they are doing, and curious to learn more!
What scientist do you admire most and why?
I admire Marie Curie the most for her groundbreaking discoveries in radioactivity and her unwavering dedication to science despite numerous challenges. Her role as the first woman to win a Nobel Prize has inspired countless others, especially women.
How can we inspire young people to become interested in science?
I think we can inspire young people to become interested in science by showing them how fun it can be! Engaging them in activities like those offered by the Lab creates an environment that fosters a love for science.
What is one scientific question you would like to see answered in your lifetime?
Is there life on other planets, and if so, what forms does it take?
Ella began volunteering at the Lab in January. Her teammates say she is always willing to step up. You can see Ella in action during weekend added values or during camp as an Intern. Interested in volunteering? Learn more here!
