Kids get plenty of science festivals - so we make something for adults, for them to play.
Taste of Science is an event series and annual festival dedicated to bringing scientists out of the lab, in from the field, and away from their computers to meet with non-specialist audiences in their favorite places. We are a national organization with community roots. Those involved are hardworking, creative, and passionate people dedicated to making science more accessible to everyone.
As a volunteer, you would be working to connect your local community with the exciting and valuable research being carried out at institutions in San Antonio. You would help to organize events to break down the notion that science is inaccessible and carried out in the ivory tower. We work to inform citizens who can then make better science-based decisions on their health, the economy, and our environment.
We want to engage people where they enjoy going to hang out. This might be at their favorite brewery, cafe, or at a family friendly event at a park.
As a taste of science Social Media Manager you will:
- Build a social media following
- Create original posts featuring the speakers/venues
- Stay informed of the speakers, the institutions they work for and the venues for events
- Be aware of those that have social media accounts, especially Twitter and Instagram
- Share posts about events from your attendees
- Make sure you keep in contact with people reaching out to you through social media
Although this is a remote position, because our events require knowledge of our local community, we are looking for volunteers in the San Antonio area.
