Recruitment for 2013 AstroChallenge

Posted on by

Hello Astro-enthusiasts!!

The AstroChallenge subcommittee is looking for interested volunteers for the 2013 Astrochallenge!  We are looking for anyone whom has interest in Astronomy and wish to contribute to organising this major event. While a background/knowledge in Astronomy is definitely a plus, it is not a requirement to help out in this event.

We are looking for volunteers for the following roles:
  • Question Masters (QMs)
  • Business Managers
  • Logistics Heads
In addition, we are also looking for associates who will help us co-ordinate this with NTU Astronomy Society. So, if you’re interested in contributing to AstroChallenge 2013 – be it to go deeper and learn more, to make new friends and get to know other passionate Astronomers or just want to have fun in Astro, join us now!

You can contact either Kevin (kevinkwekjh@yahoo.com.sg) or Isabella (isabellaow@gmail.com) for any further details and clarification.
Thank you!
Kevin and Isabella
Head QMs, Astrochallenge 2013
