Science Folks:
FYI. I know the founders of this organization (described below). The initial Camp Galileo in Palo Alto was a HUGE success with kids. The
organization is expanding rapidly with three cool teaching opportunities (particularly, the Sally Ride Academy) next summer. It is seeking
educators to both lead the camps and teach various sessions over the course of the summer. For more information, please see below.

Galileo Educational Services is looking for outstanding leaders to run summertime educational programs in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The candidate application period ends October 15.
Founded in September 2001, Galileo Educational Service’s mission is to provide opportunities for people to discover and pursue their
passions. Through collaboration with premier organizations and individuals such as The Tech Museum of Innovation, Klutz, Inc., and astronaut
Sally Ride, Galileo Educational Services offers unique, co-branded educational programs to Bay Area families. The company is led by Glen
Tripp, the former National Director and VP of Operations at SCORE! Educational Centers. Galileo Educational Services currently operates
three programs:
Camp Galileo
Created in partnership with The Tech Museum of Innovation and Klutz, Inc., Camp Galileo offers a unique day camp experience for kids in
1st-7th grade. Campers engage in hands-on art, science, and outdoor activities in addition to traditional camp standards like daily opening
ceremonies and skits. The first Camp Galileo operated in summer 2002 in Palo Alto and served nearly 300 students to rave reviews. Several
new locations will be added in 2003.
Sally Ride Science Academy
Developed in partnership with astronaut Sally Ride and her company, Imaginary Lines, this overnight summer program will provide an
opportunity for middle school girls to deepen their interest in science, engineering, and technology. The program, launching in summer
2003, will likely be hosted at Stanford University or Mills College and will serve approximately 200 girls.
The Tech Museum of Innovation Summer Camps
The San Jose-based Tech Museum of Innovation is committed to “bringing out the innovator in everyone.” Their museum-based summer programs,
which serve several hundred elementary and middle school children each year, include web design, digital video editing, medicine, robotics,
and astronomy. Galileo Educational Services will operate these programs starting in 2003.
For each of these programs, we are looking for exceptional Directors who are excited about creating a fantastic experience for their staffs
and participating families. Each Director will assume overall responsibility for leadership of the program; recruit, train and manage their
team; execute a grassroots marketing campaign; and manage day-to-day operations. Directors will spend 2-5 hours per week preparing during
the school year and then will work full-time 4-8 weeks during the summer.
Possible profiles could include teachers, school administration leaders, or youth program leaders. We will review candidates through
October 15, 2002.
If you are interested in learning more about these and other positions at Galileo Educational Services, please email jobs@GalileoEd.com or

We look forward to hearing from you soon.
