Welcome to Being Human!
Being Human is the part of Spark where guests have the chance to learn more about the science within their bodies. The bed of nails is one of the most well-known exhibits at Spark! This opportunity showcases the science behind the bed of nails through the use of a mini version. Explain to guests the relationship between area and pressure and why lying on the bed of nails doesn't hurt!
By volunteering for this opportunity, you will have the chance to:
- Lead a science activation independently.
- Become more comfortable talking with kids, their adults, and other guests as you increase guest services and science communication skills.
- Work with guests to customize the mini bed of nails, and have them create and test a hypothesis.
- Show an interest in the activity and encourage guests to try it.
Training will be provided. You will run the activation independently once you feel comfortable.
Reporting Managers: Maddie Bemrose, Brandon Lam
Exhibit Location: Upper Level, set up will be near the bed of nails exhibit. Items will be stored at Steven's lab in a bin. Assistance will be provided for setup.
