UKPN science outreach in Glasgow - volunteering opportunity

Hello polar people!
 
The UKPN festivals team have an exciting outreach opportunity coming up as part of Glasgow Science Festival, taking place on Friday 5th and Saturday 6th June!
 
We are looking for volunteers to help put on the event, including:
  •  Setting up and running a fun and engaging science-themed activity
  •  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. ��
Expenses for food and drink, travel and accommodation will be covered. For more info, and to express interest, see the form at: https://forms.gle/1S23E6smxtfhvmsg8. Please fill out the form by the end of Saturday 9th May.
 
If you are unable to travel to Glasgow for this event, do not fear! There will be future events at different locations across the country that you can get involved in.

You can check out the UK Polar Network blog to read about past events and see what it's like to volunteer with us: https://polarnetwork.org/blog/.

Please contact us at festivals@polarnetwork.org if you have any questions.
 
Best wishes,
Edmund and Phoebe
