The Cambridge Science Festival is not just for April vacation! Through its Science on the Street program, CSF now brings its STEM activities to cultural and community events and after-school programs across Massachusetts throughout the year — and to weekly sessions in parks throughout the summer. If you would like to volunteer — by organizing/presenting a Science on the Street activity or by being a helping hand — fill out this form. (Volunteers under age 16 must be accompanied by parent/guardian.) Scientists and educators who want to bring their own outreach activities to Science on the Street events should fill out this form.
The Cambridge Science Festival also seeks talented, outgoing high school students to join its 15-person Teen Advisory Board for the 2015-16 school year. The board meets periodically at the Museum of Science, promotes Cambridge Science Festival events in middle and high schools, designs and runs events for teen audiences, writes CSF blog posts, and serves as ambassadors at CSF events.
