Expectations
What we look for.
You do not need to be a physics expert for every role. The most important things are clarity, consistency, and willingness to improve your work.
Clear communication
Volunteers should respond respectfully, ask questions when needed, and keep their work understandable for younger students.
Reliable contributions
Small, consistent work is better than overcommitting. Most tasks can be completed asynchronously.
Review before publishing
Submitted materials may be reviewed before appearing on the website, in guides, or on social media.
