Science Night is a science event for the community that targets elementary aged kids. Kids (accompanied by their guardian(s)) can come to our FREE event where multiple booths will be set up hosting different scientific activities. Our enthusiastic team of graduate students will teach concepts spanning a variety of STEM topics like genetics, microbiology, physics and more in bite-size easy to do experiments and art projects. Our goal is to make STEM exciting while providing an educational experience.
