Event lead for the taste of science festival in St. Louis

Description

Kids get plenty of science festivals - so we make something for adults, for them to play. taste of science is an event series and annual festival dedicated to bringing scientists out of the lab, in from the field, and away from their computers to meet with non-specialist audiences in their favorite places. We are a national organization with community roots. Those involved are hardworking, creative, and passionate people dedicated to making science more accessible to everyone.

We work to inform citizens who can then make better science-based decisions on their health, the economy, and our environment. We want to engage people where they enjoy going to hang out. This might be at their favorite brewery, cafe, or at a family friendly event at a park.

Responsibilities

• bring together the guest presenters with the venues and audiences.
• craft each event around a theme
• handle the logistics coordinating the volunteers, necessary equipment and resources.
• connect audiences with science and scientists to effectively engage the public.
