Volunteer Position

Opportunity Title Planetarium Assistant

Theme
Education: Access & Equity

Description
The Science Factory is looking for volunteers to assist in the Exploration Dome, our planetarium and full-dome digital theater. Volunteers will collect tickets, welcome visitors to the shows, and run the digital A/V equipment for each show. The Exploration Dome has several shows every weekend, plus occasional weekday shows for school field trip groups and the public.

Knowledge of basic astronomy is strongly desired. No special technical knowledge is required; we will provide training to use the A/V equipment. Volunteers must be comfortable interacting with visitors and willing to show enthusiasm about science (especially astronomy).
