Science Slam is a free science fair hosted by parents, teachers, and volunteers to engage our children in fun science demonstrations. Exhibits are learning stations that give volunteers a close-up interaction with students, typically on a table with a canopy. Visitors just walk up and learn, no reservation is required.
There are several ways to get involved in the Science Slam. Please read about the volunteer opportunities below.
Q: Want to interact with students, but with only day-of-event responsibilities?
A: Be an Assistant! You can help set up and run exhibits. You will experience all the fun with less time commitment. (Some Leaders may need help from Assistants prior to the day of the Science Slam event, if you're interested.)
If you want to help but don’t want to demonstrate an exhibit, we would love your help with set-up, clean-up, or the snack table!
We need volunteers to support the services that make the science possible! In addition to set-up and clean-up, volunteers are needed during the event to greet volunteers and guests 👋, run the snack bar 🍿, and generally facilitate the experience for the community 😃. If you have any ideas you'd like to share, we'd love to hear those too!
This year we are asking each grade to help host an exhibit (only 1.5 hrs per parent). These parent exhibits will be predetermined by the Science Slam committee and will be VERY easy to demonstrate. We will supply all the materials and instructions. You don’t need to be a scientist to do any of these demonstrations.
As a Pre-set Parent Exhibit Leader, you will:
Signup for a designated slot for your grade level(s)
Donate 1.5 hours of your time performing easy demos
Educate visitors who stop by (the best part!)

Each general (non-grade level) exhibit needs a volunteer to take full ownership. Besides leading the exhibit, you'll make sure it gets prepared and set up. It doesn't matter if you have an idea or not. If you like science and working with kids, the Slam needs you! Click the below button to sign up for a designated idea exhibit slot.
