As they are expanding the availability to serve more kids in Kentucky and beyond, there is still much that needs to be accomplished before their summer camps begin in May. As the need arises for help, so does inventor's opportunities: Newton's Attic is now offering a volunteer time exchange program. Here's some ways you can help:
