Exhibit at The Festival

Engage!

Discovery Days are large-scale, highly visible, outdoor events where the Bay Area’s many STEM organizations connect with thousands of youth and adults. The result? Super-charged, super-fun celebrations of science! These FREE events feature hundreds of dynamic demonstrations, engaging experiments, and geeky games and draw families from all around the Bay Area. We seek exhibitors from all around the Bay to lead hands-on activities. THE BAY AREA SCIENCE FESTIVAL WILL RETURN IN FALL 2025
