Lend a hand
Each year, dozens of volunteers take Neutrino Day to the next level by lending a hand where needed, giving a talk, hosting a hands-on activity or booth, or helping us set up and tear down.
Our volunteers help guests detect invisible particles, extract DNA from strawberries, explore the anatomy of an inflatable heart, learn traditional Native American games, serve up nitrogen ice cream, and so much more!
Our expert volunteers share information about mysterious neutrinos, elusive dark matter, extreme life underground, the geology of the Black Hills, the science of blacksmithing, and more!
Just want to lend a helping hand? Our volunteers help guests stay safe, find their way around Lead, and make the most of their Neutrino Day experience!
Want to enjoy all Neutrino Day has to offer? We don’t blame you!
