More Bay Area Science Festival events…
From Oct. 29 to Nov. 6, the first-ever Bay Area Science Festival will
feature over 100 fun, interactive science
and technology events at local venues all across the Bay Area – with a
majority of the events being free.
With provocative lectures, hands-on activities, exhibitions, tours of
cutting-edge facilities, guided hikes
and neighborhood star-gazing - there will be something for everyone.
The Festival culminates on Sunday,
Nov. 6 with Discovery Day at AT&T Park, a free science celebration
with over 100 hands-on exhibits and activities.
Created by the Bay Area’s science, educational, and cultural
institutions and organized by the University of
California-San Francisco (UCSF), this ambitious initiative will
provide accessible science programming to
every Bay Area resident. By putting science at everyone’s fingertips,
we hope to engage our community
in its wonders and inspire the next generation of scientists and
engineers. Are you ready to unleash your
inner scientist?
