ConnecTEEN, formerly known as Perot Museum Teen Crew (PMTC), is a summer, application-only, volunteer program for students interested in serving their community and engaging with STEM professionals. Teens will welcome and engage the Museum’s summer campers through hands-on activities connected to our 11 permanent exhibit halls. Teens will develop 21st century skills through industry-based workshops, work-force readiness workshops and team building opportunities.
Teens accepted into the program will need to undergo a background check and may need to fill additional workshop waivers and/or photo releases. For all questions and concerns please email volunteers@perotmuseum.org.
Applications for summer 2025 will open in March 2025.
