Dear All,
Are you interested in doing some public engagement online outreach? Please respond to this email, by 25th November 2020, indicating your interest in helping with the below. We will send out a formal volunteer application once we have confirmed more of the details.
As science festivals in the UK are getting back on their feet and gearing up for what appears to be a year of virtual events, the UKPN festival coordinators are hoping to attend several of them (unrestricted by travel!).
The most pressing festival on our agenda at the moment is the Cardiff Science Festival to be held online February 18th to 21st. We have put together a series of four events to be held each once (maybe twice for the kids ones) over the four days:
1. Children's/Family quiz style session with an origami demonstration to follow along
2. Children's/Family educational talk followed by a hands on activity they can do at home while watching.
3. A panel of polar researchers from a range of fields for interested adults
4. A career session helping those interested turn their 'hobby' into a job (which will include a panel of UKPN ECRs and some background info on the UKPN)
Let us know if you'd be interested in volunteering for one or more of the above so that we know if it's going to be feasible! We are likely to need about 15 of you in total over the course of the four sessions so don't be shy :)
Many thanks,
Chloe & Eva - UKPN Festival Coordinators
