Wisconsin Science Festival 2012

'Unleash your curiosity and discover your inner innovator' with the Wisconsin Science Festival, September 27-30!
Visit the festival website to plan your day.  While most events and programs will take place at the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery, there are several other area venues including the Chazen and the Madison Children’s Museum that will be hosting special events. 
The festival affords an amazing opportunity to dabble creatively in the sciences with hands-on activities, demonstrations, exhibits, films, lectures, workshops, and more.  Importantly, too, you will meet the individuals behind the art and science who will share an infectious enthusiasm for what they do—whether that is their work in the lab, field or studio.  Ask plenty of questions!

And, do look for your campus librarians! They will be staffing an "Ask a Science Librarian" table during the Town Hall Street Fair.  What with our interest in the sciences and science literacy, how could we resist but to be there where the action is—we look forward to seeing you there!

Follow the fun via Facebook and Twitter.
