This Sunday, October 10, will be the start of the first-ever USA Science and Engineering Festival. Running through October 24, the goal is to encourage local universities, museums, science centers, businesses, schools and other community–based organizations across the country to present compelling, exciting, educational and entertaining science happenings that will help get kids interested in pursuing science, technology, engineering and math — the STEM subjects that educators everywhere have begun to focus on.
A map listing the various satellite events is available on the organization's website. Or if you can't attend, the website Science Buddies offers directions for fun and easy science projects you can do at home!
