Science Slam YVR is back with with our next show on Oct 11 at the Fox Cabaret!About this Event
For those of you who have not yet experienced the wonder of Science Slam, welcome! We are Vancouver’s most epic science showdown. Sit back, relax, and watch as our competitors battle to achieve science communication fame and glory.
What exactly is a science slam? Based on the format of a poetry slam, a science slam is a competition where speakers gather to share their science with you - the audience. Competitors have five minutes to present on any science topic without the use of a slideshow and are judged based on communication skills, audience impact and scientific content. Props and creative presentation styles are encouraged!
Whether you're a researcher, student, educator, artist, or communicator, our stage is open to you. If you've got a science topic you're researching, or just a topic you're excited about, send in an application! If you're not sure about an idea, just ask us at [email protected]!
Application link: https://forms.gle/y5nQZwLzVUcRiHZT9
We will be accepting applications until September 16, 2022 and will be notifying our potential Slammers by September 23 to give enough time to prepare!
As this event is held in October, feel free to be inspired by the Halloween season, although this is certainly not necessary to apply.
