UKPN Outreach Opportunity - National Maritime Museum

Hello UKPNers,

 

Welcome to the new academic year, and especially welcome if you are a new member! The UKPN festivals team are excited to announce that the first UKPN science festival event of the new academic year will be happening on Saturday 25th November, as part of our ongoing collaboration with the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, London.

 

We are looking for volunteers to help put on the event, including:

·   Setting up and running fun and engaging science-themed activities and experiments

·   A couple of short talks (~15 mins) on life as a polar researcher

·   Being on hand to chat to visitors and answer questions about polar science

This will be a great chance to engage a diverse audience of families and young children and potentially inspire the next generation of polar scientists!

 

No experience needed - all we ask is your commitment and enthusiasm. 😊

 

Food and drink will be provided on the day, along with refunds for travel and accommodation. For more info, and to express interest, see the form at: https://forms.gle/qj4KoTizE3WKfFNJA

 

Best wishes,

Edmund and Linnet,

UKPN Festivals Coordinators
