The Thames Valley Branch of the British Science Association and run Reading Science Week each year (part of National Science and Engineering Week). They usually have a number of student volunteers to help out at events – at the end of the week they can usually write something for the volunteers detailing what they have done to be used in their CVs, and they also support the RED award, and can complete forms for RED award students. This year Reading Science Week is 13-22 March and they have a range of events that volunteers can get involved with.

Call for Volunteers
Would you like to gain some experience in science communication and event management? Fancy a public engagement reference for your CV? If so, volunteer with the British Science Association at Reading Science Week 2015! They are especially looking for volunteers to:
• Post and hand out flyers advertising our events
• Help out at our Stargazing event for kids (and adults!) on the evenings of 13th and 14th March at the University of Reading London Road Campus

Full briefings will be given and training where appropriate. The program is available at http://www.scienceinreading.org/reading-science-week/
