The Middle Science Bowl is looking for volunteers to help make our event run as smoothly as possible! This event cannot run without the help of many wonderful volunteers, so please consider giving some of your time to help out. See below for event details, and please fill out the attached Google Form. Even if you cannot attend because you have graduated or have a prior commitment, please still fill out the form and tell us that. Your prompt feedback will help us to put together the best team of volunteers that we can! The link below will take you to the volunteer survey:
NOTE: A separate email regarding participation in Science Demos will be sent out closer to the event date.
Date: Saturday, February 29th
Time: ~8 A.M. - 4:30 P.M. (Leaving times may be earlier for most volunteers)
Location: McHugh Hall (Storrs Campus)
There are a number of roles that our volunteers will be asked to fill. Since there are 32 teams attending, there will be 16 competition rooms. This means that for each room we will need:
- Moderators
- Timekeepers
- Scorekeepers
- Room Logistics/Extra
Please see the following video for explanations about the moderator, timekeeper, and scorekeeper roles: Volunteer Training Videos.
The organization of the event and the communication between rooms is just as important the games occurring inside. To keep things running smoothly, we will also need:
- Administrative Assistants
- Runners
Volunteer training sessions will be offered in CHEM A-304 the week of the event. These training sessions will be required for volunteers who are new to their position. Veterans to their position will not be required to attend, but are encouraged to come and help new volunteers learn. The training sessions are on the following dates:
Monday, 2/24 from 5 - 6:30 PM: CHEM A-304
Tuesday, 2/25 from 5 - 6:30 PM: CHEM A-304
Volunteers will be asked to come in and set up in McHugh Hall the evening before the event. We will meet in McHugh Hall 101 at 6:30 PM to begin.
Once again, thank you for the time that you have dedicated to this program in the past, we could not do this without you. Don't forget that like last year, all volunteers will be provided with a Dunkin' breakfast, a Subway lunch, and a free Science Bowl t-shirt! Also note that this event is a great resume-builder and is perfect for organizations that require you to have service hours.
Please email us back with any questions!
