Welcome to Kids Day @ SLAC 2010

Frequently Asked Questions

What will happen on Kids Day @ SLAC?
After registration, kids enrolled in Workshops A and B (9 to 11 years old) will go to Panofsky Auditorium and kids enrolled in Workshops C and D (11 to 16 years old) will go to the Kavli Auditorium. In each location they will get a safety talk and SLAC welcome.

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 11 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 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.

What workshop should I choose?
In most cases, children aged 9 - 11 will participate in Workshops A and B while those aged 12 - 16 will participate in Workshops C and D.
However, if the child is 11 years old and has already participated in the Workshops offered in group A (Biology, Hydro Rockets, Mechanics, Radiation) and B (Magnetics, Monster Muscles, Paleontology, Vacuum), they may enroll in Workshops C and D.
How much does it cost?
There is a $20 charge ($22 if an XXL shirt is chosen) this year that includes morning refreshments, lunch, a t-shirt and ice cream at the ice cream social.
How do I get a t-shirt?
Parents, sponsors, escorts, volunteers or other SLAC staff members who wish to purchase a t-shirt should fill out a registration form (link forthcoming) and submit it and a check made out to “Stanford University” to Michelle Montalvo, MS 69. There are no refunds or exchanges.
When and how do I register a child?
The sponsor (SLAC staff member) must complete the registration form (parent must sign consent) and submit a check in the correct amount made out to "Stanford University" for each participant by August 4, 2010. 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 Michelle Montalvo at x2057 or montalvo@slac.stanford.edu.
What are my responsibilities as a sponsor?
You must review with the child safety instructions (mitigations described on the workshop web pages and the registration forms) and attend the 8:00 - 8:50 am check in and the 11:30 lunch. You are also invited to attend the 2:30 pm ice cream social and afternoon science talks at the Panofsky or Kavli Auditoriums. You should make sure that the kids wear long pants, closed-toed shoes, no jewelry and have hair pulled back! Pick up your kids at 3:30 when Kids Day event ends.
Who pays for lunch for sponsors and escorts?
All helpers must pay for their own lunch, if they choose to participate, and purchase in advance via the registration form.
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 escorts.
What afternoon science talk does my kid(s) attend?
The kids are split up by age, based on the workshop they are assigned. Workshops A and B participants (ages 9 to 11 years old) and their sponsors go to the Panofsky Auditorium. Workshops C and D participants (ages 11 to 16 years old) and their sponsors go to the Kavli Auditorium.
How can I be an escort?
Many escorts are needed on the day of the event and sponsors are encouraged to participate. Please look at our escorts web page for more information and feel free to contact Michelle Steger, x3011, to ask any questions. To volunteer, please register register online .
