What is The Day of Science?
A Success Story!
Preparing for the Day of Science
Securing Volunteers
Securing volunteers for our Day of Science is a critical step both for the success of the event as well as positive parent/community engagement. The three volunteer categories exist: (1) Set Up/Tear Down (2) Project Helpers (3) Hospitality. Download the volunteer cards, print them front/back on card stock and begin a simple campaign for securing helpers!

Schedule a Teacher Meeting
While it is not imperative, consider scheduling a short teacher meeting prior to The Day of Science. Typically, Josh arrives the day before our event to set up, prepare and hold a brief face-to-face meeting with the staff. This meeting is short, to the point and allows teachers ask questions and gain reassurance. If a face-to-face meeting is not a possibility, consider scheduling a brief video conference call with Josh

Invite School District Officials
The Day of Science is a wonderful opportunity to invite the school board and district officials to this amazing S.T.E.M. extravaganza. Send a simple email with a brief description of the event, the date, time and location and be sure to include the graphically rich digital flier to district officials and school board.

Invite a Photographer
Invite the District Media person or a parent with a REALLY nice camera to document this amazing day through photography! These wonderful images could be used to celebrate this event at a parent open house, at the next school board meeting or through social media. Prior to making this decision, please refer to your district's policy for photographing students.
Invite Local Media
Invite local media outlets to cover the Day of Science at your school. This one-of-a-kind event is perfect for local media outlets to provide a wonderful “Feel Good” story about your school. We have created several professionally created "Pitch Letters" you can use to gain easy entrance with local radio, TV or newspapers.
