Welcome to Kids Day @ SLAC 2007
 Frequently Asked Questions
- What will happen on Kids Day @ SLAC?
- After registration, kids 9 to 11 years old will go
to Panofsky auditorium and kids 12 to 16 years old will
go to the ROB Building. In each location they will get a
safety talk and SLAC welcome. The kids will be welcomed
by Janay MacNaughton in the auditorium and Susan Schultz
in the ROB. After the talks, the kids will be divided up
into their workshop groups, based on the workshop option
chosen on the registration form. Kids 9-11 years old will
attend two hands-on workshops in the morning and two in the
afternoon after lunch. Kids 12 years old and up will attend one hands-on
workshop in the morning and one in the afternoon. All
workshop choices will be based on a first-come,
first-serve pre-registration and are suitable for 9
through 16 years old. Please feel free to contact
Stephanie Carlson, x2033 with any general questions.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the importance of keeping track of where each and every child
is the day of Kids Day and for obvious safety reasons, no one will be allowed to change
workshops the day of the event. Also no child will be allowed to walk in and register
the day of the event. We do our best to accommodate everyone’s first
choice of workshops and pairing of children.
- How much does it cost?
- There is a $15 charge this year that includes lunch,
a t-shirt and ice cream at the ice cream social.
- How do I get a t-shirt?
- Parents, sponsors, volunteers or other SLAC staff
members who wish to purchase a t-shirt should fill out a
registration form and submit it and a check made out to
“Stanford University” to Barry Webb, MS 11.
- When and how do I register a child?
- The sponsor must complete the registration form
(parent must sign consent) and submit a $15 check made
out to "Stanford University" for each participant by
Monday, July 30. There will be limited number of
participants and we expect to fill all available space,
so please register immediately. If you have any
questions, contact Barry Webb x2355, bwebb@slac.stanford.edu.
- What are my responsibilities as a sponsor?
- You must review with the child safety instructions (mitigations
described on the workshop web page and the registration packet)
and attend the 8:00 - 8:50 AM check in, the 11:30 lunch and
the 2:30 pm ice cream social and science talks at the Panofsky Auditorium
with Martin Perl for 9 - 11 year olds and Sean Brennan
in the ROB for 12 - 16 year olds. Make sure that the kids wear long
pants, closed-toed shoes, no jewelry and have hair pulled back!
- Who pays for lunch for
sponsors and volunteers?
- Sponsors and volunteers must
pay for their own lunch and purchase their lunch tickets
in advance.
- How do kids get to their workshops?
- Staff volunteers will escort groups of kids to their
respective workshops. It is strictly prohibited for
sponsors to take kids directly to the workshops; the
workshops are not open houses. Sponsors are encouraged
to sign up as volunteer escorts.
- What science talk does my kid(s) attend?
- Kids Day @ SLAC is getting so big that we are spilling out
of the Panofsky Auditorium. This year the kids are split up by age
into two groups. The young kids, ages 9 to 11 years old and their
sponsors still go to the Panofsky Auditorium. The older kids,
ages 12-16 years old, now go to the Redwood Rooms in the ROB Building.
- How can I volunteer to help?
- Many volunteers are needed on the day of the event
and sponsors are encouraged to participate. Please look
at our volunteer web page for more information and feel
free to contact Michelle Steger, x3011, to volunteer or
to ask any questions.
