The Royal Institution is looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help us deliver interactive science events throughout the year. As a volunteer, your role would be to demonstrate experiments to young people and their families at our Family Fun Days. This could be anything from extracting DNA from strawberries to demonstrating hydrogen rockets to making balloon powered cars!
Family Fun Days are one day events running 10am - 5pm on Saturdays and no regular commitment is required. Volunteer for a brilliant opportunity get experience in science communication, presenting, explaining and demonstrating science in an informal educational setting!
