Are you ready to unleash your inner scientist? If you'll be in the San Francisco Bay Area October 29th to November 6th, you won't want to miss the Bay Area Science Festival, an exciting 10 day event that allows participants to celebrate the region's scientific wonders, resources, and opportunities by exploring the role of science, engineering, and technology locally and in the world!
This 10 day festival will provide a wide range of science & technology activities – lectures, debates, exhibitions, concerts, plays, workshops, etc. – at a variety of locations throughout the Bay Area.
Young people will understand that science is fun, exciting and important, encouraging them to pursue careers in science; parents will feel more confident about supporting their kids’ interests in science; and teachers will have new resources to get students thinking about science outside of the classroom.
There will be dozens of exciting events for all to enjoy!
