Apply to Present a Stage Program at Seattle Science Festival's Science EXPO Day

(Application deadline has been extended to March 22, 2013)

Science EXPO Day will be held on June 8, 2013 at Seattle Center from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. We are looking for stage programs that will engage people of all ages in a region-wide celebration of scientific wonders, resources, and opportunities by exploring the role of science, engineering, technology and math in Puget Sound and beyond. Stage Programs should be 15-20 minutes in length.

Stage programs will be selected through a curated process to ensure quality and appropriateness. Filters and criteria for selection include:

  • Science-based: Clearly grounded in the scientific habits of mind (problem solving, reasoning, communication, and making connections.)
  • Doable: Deliverable at a high quality within the constraints of time and resources available.
  • Accessible: Engaging, inclusive, understandable to the audience (manner of delivery, academic level of content and logistics).
  • Relevant: Addressing important and timely issues of both today and the future, tied to career opportunities, and connected to our daily lives where possible.
  • Appropriate: Seattle Science Festival is a family-friendly celebration and therefore all materials and activities must be appropriate for a family audience.
  • Wow! Fun, exciting, cool, clever, experiential, and conveying the sense of awe and wonder that is at the heart of scientific discovery and achievement.

To ensure that all stage programs are appropriate and engaging for our audience, all stage program submissions will be reviewed by our Science EXPO Day Task Force. Seattle Science Festival reserves the right to reject or request the revision of stage program submissions in accordance with recommendations made by the Science EXPO Day Task Force. If you would like more clarification on the criteria used to evaluate Seattle Science Festival stage programs, please contact Jordan Adams, Science Festival Event Manager, at (206) 269-2144 or This email address is being protected from spambots.
