Ignite your curiosity and experience that spark of discovery this month all across the state ↴
North Carolina Science Festival is back!
Science fuels our culture, drives our economy, and builds our world. A single day isn't nearly enough to contain the energy of North Carolina’s massive science scene, so the North Carolina Science Festival is taking over the entire month of April. From the mountains to the coast, the NC Science Festival is officially underway for 2026, and it’s bigger, bolder, and more hands-on than ever before. With over 500 events popping up in local communities as well as streaming across virtual platforms, there is an adventure waiting for every age and interest level. This isn't just about textbooks — it’s about amazing experiments, cutting-edge tech, and the thrill of those "aha" moments that shape our future.
Happy Spring, and Happy Science! Find your event today and join the celebration..
