The Cambridge Science Festival is the first and largest, multi-day celebration of science and technology in the United States. During nine days in April and May, the City of Cambridge showcases hundreds of free & open events designed to excite, engage and educate the public. We take curiosity to a new level! |
The Cambridge Science Festival is presented by the MIT Museum in collaboration with the City of Cambridge, community organizations, schools, universities and businesses. Public TV & Radio, the libraries, small kids and big kids – everyone gets in on the action.
Don't miss opening day when the most fun Science Carnival begins! Starting at noon on April 25, 2009, Cambridge City Hall will be jammed with hands-on activities, demonstrations and opportunities to learn about some of the latest experiments and research goings on in "Science City USA." The Carnival is free and geared toward kids of all ages, but everyone has fun and will learn something new.
Throughout the Cambridge Science Festival, the MIT Museum will host a range of performances, classes, receptions, and workshops and activities. Don't miss the Lunch with a Laureate series, a chance to chat with a Nobel Laureate in a convivial setting.

The first Cambridge Science Festival was held in April 2007. Over 15,000 people attended performances, talks, lectures, plays, the science carnival and a myriad of other events held throughout the City. Here, members of a middle school environmental group showed people how to save money and energy by changing to compact fluorescent lightbulbs.
The second Cambridge Science Festival in April-May 2008, was even bigger, with 25,000 people participating in over 250 events!
