Dear all,

We invite you to volunteer for the upcoming Nano Days. Volunteers get free T-shirts, free food.

Volunteers support the future of STEM programs by introducing grade schoolers and high school students to the world of atoms, molecules, and nanoscale forces.  

Since 2010, the Birck Nanotechnology Center at Discovery Park has participated in NISE NanoDays, a program that promotes science and technology education nationwide. Volunteers will staff activity stations and assist visitors as they investigate different scientific concepts. Some example activities for 2018 include gummy capsules, ferrofluids, invisibility, thin film bookmarks, oobleck, and UV bead bracelets. No prior knowledge is required to volunteer, just an enthusiasm for science and science education.

Local vendors will be providing food for volunteer training and all three days of the event.

 

Volunteers can attend any or all of the following shifts:

Wed 4/11/18:  5:30 PM -  8:00 PM

Thu 4/12/18:  8:45 AM – 11:30 AM
