Slam into Fall

Welcome to the wonder of Science Slam!

We are Vancouver’s most epic science showdown. Sit back, relax, and watch as our competitors battle to achieve science communication fame and glory while learning something new in to kick off the fall season.

What exactly is a science slam? Based on the format of a poetry slam, a science slam is a competition where speakers gather 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 impact and scientific content. Props and creative presentation styles are encouraged - no slides!

Enjoy improv? While the Slam scores are being tabulated, members of our audience are welcome to come on stage and participate in a fun, improv show very loosely inspired by science.
