Volunteers Needed for 2022 Haunted Science Lab
October 3, 2022

One of Pocatello’s most popular Halloween attractions is returning this fall, and they need your help.
色花堂app Department of Physics and Kiwanis Club of Pocatello鈥檚 Haunted Science Laboratory will return to the Bannock County Event Center in late October. Department staff is looking for volunteers to help set up and prepare for the hundreds of local students attending the event. The Haunted Science Lab features a Van DeGraaf generator, lasers, and multiple educational and interactive science activities. Some exhibits use the same principles as Disneyland鈥檚 Haunted Science Mansion, except they are explained.
鈥淰olunteering is a great way to share your love of science with local youth, and the Haunted Science Lab is a great educational opportunity for kids in our community,鈥 said Steve Shropshire, professor of physics at Idaho State. 鈥淚 can鈥檛 wait to get back to sharing cool stuff with people and new things for kids to learn.鈥
For more information on volunteering and to sign up, contact Steve Shropshire at (208) 282-2212 or shrostev@isu.edu. Set up for the event will take place from October 13 through October 23.
Since 2011, Idaho State鈥檚 Department of Physics and the Kiwanis Club of Pocatello have hosted the Haunted Science Laboratory as a field trip for local schools, free of charge.
After being closed to the general public because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the lab will open to the community on October 29. More details will be announced at a later date.
