    Description

    Help Organize taste of science Newark - a SciFest for grown ups

    Kids get plenty of science festivals - so we make something for adults, for them to play.

    taste of science is an events series and annual festival dedicated to bringing scientists to meet local communities in their favorite places. We are a national organization with community roots. Hardworking, creative and passionate people dedicated to making science more accessible to everyone.

    As a volunteer you would be working to connect your local community with the exciting and valuable research being carried out at institutions in Houston.

    We want to engage people where they enjoy going to hang out. This might be their favorite brewery, or a family friendly event at a park.

    This is a great opportunity in which to learn and develop skills in science communication that include networking, web management, project management, and social media presence.

    We are currently looking for volunteers to help our chapter lead launch in Newark. Roles include:

    • Speaker Liaison
    • Funding Manager
    • Event Lead
    • Social Media Manager
    • Publicity Manager
    • Web Manager

    For more information on each, please go to: www.tasteofscience.org/volunteer.
