Your Campus Connection
Description:
Gallery Interpreters are the heart of the science experience at TELUS World of Science - Edmonton. As an interpreter, you will catalyze our guests' curiosities and spark a lifelong love of science for many of our guests. By facilitating hands-on experiences, you will encourage them to explore, be curious, solve problems, ask questions, and discover new things.
In S.P.A.C.E. (Stars, Planets, Astronauts, Comets, etc.). you will take guests to the edge of the known universe. Working in the Command Centre, you will teach guests how to identify a meteorite, launch marbles into a gravity well, launch rockets, and much more. This is an ideal landing spot for a volunteer seeking a stellar experience.
