About the event
Soapbox Science is a novel public outreach platform for promoting women and non-binary scientists and the science they do. The event will transform the Halifax waterfront into an arena for public learning and scientific debate. With Soapbox Science, we want to make sure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy, learn from, heckle, question, probe, interact with and be inspired by some of our leading scientists. No middle man, no PowerPoint slide, no amphitheatre – just remarkable women and non-binary scientists who are there to amaze you with their latest discoveries, and to answer the science questions you have been burning to ask.
The event is completely free and open to the general public. The talented scientists will stand on their soapboxes and chat with the public about their latest advances in the fields of science, technology, engineering, math and medicine (STEMM). It's a great opportunity for anyone, regardless of your background to learn from the experts!
