Connie’s Quantum Sandbox is an interactive science, crafting, activity, and demonstration area
always looking for enthusiastic individuals to lead projects, activities, and demonstrations. We strongly support activities that rely on low-cost, donated, and upcycled supplies. Connie’s Quantum Sandbox is always looking for leaders and assistants for activities we would like to host at CONvergence. If you’d like to volunteer as an activity leader, please contact Connie’s Quantum Sandbox. If you have an idea for an activity you’d like to lead, please read below.
In addition to activity leaders, Connie’s Quantum Sandbox is always looking for assistants for activities, volunteers to assist with set-up and tear-down, and general room help. If you’d like to volunteer in any capacity, please check out the Volunteers Positions page for a list of volunteer positions and instructions for signing up. A CONvergence badge is required to participate in Connie’s Quantum Sandbox, so you’ll want to register for CONvergence as soon as possible if you haven’t already.
Suggesting an Activity or Demonstration
We are always looking for more ideas for activities for Connie’s Quantum Sandbox. We are especially interested in activity and demonstration suggestions that relate to the year’s theme. We have minimal tools for use; specialty tools for activities and demonstrations may or may not be able to be provided. Please be mindful that Connie’s Quantum Sandbox operates on donations for the majority of our project supplies, and we look forward to cost effective, yet fun activities and experiments.
Submit your suggestions before March to be included in possible activities for this year’s CONvergence! After March, we will consider suggestions for the following year’s convention.
Please contact Connie’s Quantum Sandbox to suggest Connie’s Quantum Sandbox activities or demonstrations.
Don’t forget to include the following information:
- A panel title for the activity or demonstration
- Your contact information
- A description of the activity or demonstration (include both a description up to 254 characters for the schedule and a longer description to help Sandbox staff understand your proposal)
- Materials or special setup that will be required for the activity or demonstration
- Any materials that you are willing to provide yourself
- Pre-con prep-work needed, and links to online resources for instruction
- Estimated time for activity completion (must fit in 1-hour time-slot; extended time determined as needed by Connie’s Quantum Sandbox)
