The Tech Museum Wants to Know: Do You Want to be a Mythbuster?

The Tech Museum of San Jose is looking for people to be part of Mythbusters: The Explosive Exhibition show.

From dropping a penny off of a skyscraper to creating an Archimedes death ray, science has never been so entertaining.

The Discovery Channel's Mythbusters are making their way to the South Bay and The Tech Museum of San Jose is inviting residents to become part of the entertainment.

From October 13 to January 6, 2013 Mythbusters: The Explosive Edition will be held at the museum and open auditions for residents to be part of the team are being held next week.

The Mythbusters: The Explosive Exhibition is directly inspired from the Discovery Channel's Emmy-nominated series, MythBusters, says The Tech Museum Intern Diane Firmalino.

"Mythbusters: The Explosive Exhibition creates hands-on, interactive experience for guests of all ages by combining popular scientific facts with innovative, family-friendly displays," Firmalino says. "Mythbusters specializes in subjecting wild ideas to some wildly entertaining experiments."

According to Firmalino, the unconventional take on science by Mythbusters fits right in with The Tech Museum.

"Our mission is to inspire the innovator in everyone," she says. "This exhibition spark a lot of curiosity and imagination and might just create another Mythbuster!"

Auditions take place Aug. 20, from 2:00-7:00 p.m. at The Tech Museum, 201 S. Market Street, San Jose. The position is a paid one, with shifts from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. available daily. The exhibition runs from Oct. 13 through Jan. 6, 2013.

It's difficult to know what's going on in a kid's mind unless they feel confident enough to open upRead More and talk. And this program helps us adults to learn to listen differently.

I too was at this Challenge Day. It was my 6th. I first volunteered because I watched the programRead More on MTV "If You Really Knew Me" when my son was being severely bullied in middle school and saw the program was offered when he was a freshman in high school. My company strongly supports me volunteering for this and allows me to take the day off work to attend. I am continually humbled by what these teens share and saddened at what some of them have experienced in their short lives. This program is so valuable. I think every school should offer it and every parent should attend. It helps us to realize that we need to think twice before we judge or assume things about others when we know nothing about them. It is the volunteering opportunity that I look forward to participating in every year.
