Website Manager- taste of science St. Louis chapter

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

taste of science is an annual festival and event series dedicated to bringing scientists out of the lab, in from the field and away from their computers to meet with non-specialist audiences in their favorite places. We are a national organization with community roots. Those involved are 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 St. Louis. You would help to organize events to break down the notion that science is inaccessible and carried out in the ivory tower. We work to inform citizens who can then make better decisions, based on science, when it comes to their health, the economy and our environment.

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.

As a Web Manager volunteer you would be working on the St. Louis Chapter "Squarespace" host webpage by:

• creating new events
• updating website with details for speakers and venues
• adding booking information
• updating the "team" section of our website to include our team's pictures and bio's
• update their city’s web page to include the latest team members.

They also make individual pages for each event. This is an opportunity to develop their skills using a web CMS system, while showing some creative flair in how they choose to display event information.

Although this is a remote position, because our events require knowledge of our local community, we are looking for volunteers residing in the S. Louis area.

We look forward to meeting you!
