Step 3 – Tips for a Successful Event
Logistics and Staffing:
- Be prepared to provide space, one table per activity, chairs and, if needed, electrical outlets and a convenient water supply.
- One volunteer or staff member is necessary to run each activity station.
- If you are located in Monroe County, you are responsible for providing half of the volunteers needed to staff the activity stations.
- If you are outside Monroe County, you are responsible for providing all of the volunteers needed to staff the activity stations.
- A WonderLab staff member will train, oversee, and support all volunteers during the event.
- WonderLab will provide all the activity supplies, set up, and clean up. A WonderLab staff member will train, oversee, and support all volunteers during the event.
Considerations and Recommendations:
- Activity Stations may run up to a maximum of 3 hours (a typical STEM Night ~2 hours).
- We strongly recommend max 30 participants/station/hour.
- Max of 10 activity stations per event.
