OSU Physics would like help on Friday 23.May 7pm-10pm (training on Tuesday 6.May or Wednesday 14.May):

"Hello Physics Students!

The three department clubs are organizing the 2nd annual Physics & Astronomy Open House for Friday May 23rd from 7 to 10 PM.

We are trying to gather a small army of volunteers to help with demonstrations, ranging from simple to dazzling. 

 

We need more volunteers if this event is going to happen.

 

Getting experience teaching science to the public is a valuable skill that you can add to a resume for technical communication, and this would also count towards any needed volunteer hours.

We can work with you based on your comfort level to put you on an activity that you are comfortable with - nobody will be alone on a demo who doesn't want to be.  
We have some non-outreach work that needs to be done as well, if that's more your style.

If you can help out, please sign up on the form below, and if possible try to attend one of the two following training sessions in Weniger 328 (if neither of these work for you, email Max Novack at novackm@oregonstate.edu and we will figure something out).

-Tuesday May 6th at 5pm
-Wednesday May 14th at 6pm

Thanks!
