SUMMARY:Art of the Slam
DESCRIPTION: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. \nWhat 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! \nOur art-meets-science event will feature previous Slam champion Conan\, who creates YouTube videos exploring physics and psychology in popular films! \nDoors open at 7pm\, event begins at 7:30pm. \nEarly-bird tickets – ONLY $15! – are limited in quantity.\nRegular price tickets are $18. \nSee you there! \nNotes:\nThe 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. \nVenue is a 19+ venue with non-gendered bathrooms. \nMasks are not required but they are encouraged. \nScience Slam acknowledges that this event takes place on the traditional\, ancestral\, and unceded territory of the Squamish\, Musqueam\, and Tsleil Waututh Nation. Many of our attendees\, Science Slam included\, are guests of these territories and must act accordingly. \nScience Slam is an inclusive event\, as a result hate speech and abuse will not be tolerated.
