Art of the Slam
December 6, 2023 - 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
$15 – $18
Welcome to the wonder of Science Slam! We are Vancouver’s most epic science showdown. Sit back, relax, and watch as our competitors battle to achieve science communication fame and glory while learning something new in our art-meets-science themed event.
What exactly is a science slam? Based on the format of a poetry slam, a science slam is a competition where speakers gather to share their science with you – the audience. Competitors have five minutes to present on any science topic without the use of a slideshow and are judged based on communication skills, audience impact and scientific content. Props and creative presentation styles are encouraged — no slides!
Our art-meets-science event will feature previous Slam champion Conan, who creates YouTube videos exploring physics and psychology in popular films!
Doors open at 7pm, event begins at 7:30pm.
Early-bird tickets – ONLY $15! – are limited in quantity.
Regular price tickets are $18.
Notes:
The venue is wheelchair accessible. The main cabaret room is accessible through a ramped entrance. We also have a wheelchair accessible washroom in the space as well.
Venue is a 19+ venue with non-gendered bathrooms.
Masks are not required but they are encouraged.
