For those of you who have never experienced the wonder of Science Slam, welcome! Science Slam is Vancouver’s most epic science showdown. Watch as competitors battle to share science with their captive audience. What’s on the line? Pride, fame, eternal glory, and occasionally a prize or two.
What exactly is a science slam? Based on the format of a poetry slam, a science slam is a competition that brings together researchers, students, educators, artists, and communicators 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 engagement, and scientific accuracy. Props and creative presentation styles are encouraged!
If you’re interested in competing, please apply using the following link: https://goo.gl/forms/SRU6ZlMcbXqzLxFn2 or email us at scislamYVR@gmail.com. Evolution-themed topics preferred. If you’re not sure about an idea, just ask!
Admission is by donation after 5pm with the Science Slam starting at 6:30pm.
