Volunteer translators help the Wisconsin Science Museum to become a more inclusive and accessible space for Wisconsinites by translating activities, exhibit, and outreach materials used throughout the museum and at outreach events. Do you enjoy translating fun educational materials into a language other than English? Have an idea for how to better engage non-native English speakers at the museum? We need your help!
Anyone with prior experience translating from English to another commonly spoken language in Wisconsin can play an integral role in making the Wisconsin Science Museum a comfortable and welcoming space for non-native English speakers.
Some of the tasks that you may be involved with as a volunteer include:
- Translating exhibit materials/panels, marketing & outreach materials.
- Helping with outreach events as a bilingual/multilingual resource.
- Redesigning materials to accommodate multiple languages.
- Opening and closing the museum.

Mission Statement
The Wisconsin Science Museum connects science, art and technology discoveries with experiences that inform and inspire. Our exhibits and programming foster curiosity, connect visitors to the research happening in their own community, and frame local technology and scientific advancements within the larger contexts of science, history and culture.
Description
Wisconsin has incredible science, technology and biotech stories, and many discoveries that helped change the world happened right here. Madison and the biotechnology industry have grown together, and collaborations between public and private organizations have helped develop a city directly on the edge of innovation.
Our goal is to make the Wisconsin Science Museum one of the country’s preeminent science and technology museums, highlighting connections to Wisconsin both locally and globally. By combining research, industry, and hands-on exploration, the museum will create fun and inspiring experiences that encourage visitors of all ages to improve the world by being thinkers, doers, and science and technology advocates.
Science and biotechnology are a significant part of Madison’s story, and we plan on encouraging community pride and participation in its next chapters. We’re ready to engineer Madison’s next big cultural resource - will you join us?
