We are looking for volunteers to help us deliver our annual event at the Cambridge Festival, Build a (Cam)BRAIN on 28th-29th March.Ours will be one of many at the festival’s Family Weekend, which sees various university sites packed out with science exhibits and activities. Thousands of visitors pass through over the weekend, so it’s a fantastic opportunity to get into the heart of public engagement in Cambridge.

Full training will be provided in advance, so don’t worry if you are new to the sci-comm world. A training evening for volunteers (complete with pizza and drinks!) will be held on the evening of 24th March to go through the activities (crafts, microscopes, brain games) plus some tips and tricks for public engagement.

To sign up as a volunteer, register below. Sign-up will close at 5pm, Friday 6 March.
