The Las Vegas Science and Technology is back in person this year. Please see the below ways in which you or an organization you are with may want to be involved.
Science Is Everywhere Day (May 1, 2022): Science is Everywhere Day highlights the importance of science in our community and allows businesses to showcase science in their organizations for students and families. If you have a business that does cool science and can open your doors to the public for a free tour, demo, or workshop, this is for you. Please see the attachment for more information regarding this event. Email scifest@lvnhm.org to get involved.
Science in Schools (May 2 - 6, 2022): STEM Professionals will be matched with a classroom or school to share their work with students. We need more than 100 speakers this year for any grade level. Your commitment could be as short as 1 - 2 hours on one day or as long as multiple hours over multiple days, depending on your availability. To sign up to be a speaker, please go to www.scifest.vegas and access the “Get Involved” tab to find the link under "Speak In Schools" . If you sign up to participate in this, we will work hard to connect you with an appropriate school(s) and teacher(s). Your matches will be emailed to you and the teachers mid-April to allow you and the school staff to connect and schedule. The need is great at all grade levels, but please consider being available to modify for any grade level. If you have more questions about this, contact Cheryl Wagner at wagneca@nv.ccsd.net or at 702-799-0303 ext. 5169.
Giant Expo at the World Market Center (May 7, 2022): This hands-on expo is expected to have more than 10,000 visitors this year. We are looking for organizations and businesses that can share hands-on STEM experiences for families throughout the day. To reserve a booth now, go to www.scifest.vegas and click on the “Get Involved” tab. If you think you might want to do this but are not sure about what you could do at your booth, please feel free to contact us and we can brainstorm some great ideas.
There are additional opportunities throughout the week-long festival including community events, volunteering opportunities, sponsorships, and speaking engagements. Please visit www.scifest.vegas to learn more or email scifest@lvnhm.org to connect with our director.
