Volunteers are a key part of ensuring this event runs smoothly and is a wonderful experience. If presenting isn't your thing but you still want to be part of the action, we would love to have you volunteer on the night(s) of the event. Your help is crucial to ensure everyone has a fantastic time.

Spectacular Science Showcase
To get everyone energized about everything science, we will have the Spectacular Science Showcase in the auditorium featuring ScienceKids and the ATOM Show - featuring a wide variety of mind-blowing experiments and audience participation. There will be two different times for the Showcase in the main auditorium on each night (5:30 PM and 6 PM). Families will be assigned a Showcase time (with them giving their time preference during registration) and still be able to attend three assigned, hands-on sessions throughout the evening. The whole event will run from 5:30-8 PM each evening!
Please check-in at least 15 minutes before your Showcase start time so the event can run on time.
Onsite Pizza Option
Take the scramble out of the evening! A pizza snack will be served in the cafeteria from 5:30- 6:25 PM. Showcase One participants can eat starting at 6 PM after the completion of their showcase, while Showcase 2 participants can enjoy 5:30 - 5:55 PM before the start of their showcase. Please enjoy your pizza in the cafeteria as food is not permitted in the auditorium or breakout classrooms. No exceptions.
