Science Slam is Vancouver’s most epic science showdown. Watch as competitors battle to share science with their captive audience. What’s on the line? Pride, fame, eternal glory, and occasionally a prize or two.
What exactly is a science slam? Based on the format of a poetry slam, a science slam is a competition that brings together researchers, students, educators, artists, and communicators 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 engagement, and scientific accuracy.
