Virginia Tech presents the 10th Annual Virginia Tech Science Festival on Saturday, November 11, 2023 at the Moss Arts Center and Newman Library at Virginia Tech.
The Virginia Tech Science Festival is an expo-style, family-friendly event that reaches more than 4,000 visitors each year! Festival guests can participate in hands-on activities, see engaging demonstrations, and talk one-on-one with practicing scientists at about 100 different exhibits.
Where might a child be able to play catch with a robot, extract DNA from a strawberry, assemble a DNA strand out of candy, explore the bottom of streams, and read a book with artificial intelligence, all in a single afternoon?
Based on the idea that "science is bigger than you think," the festival features a range of disciplines that use data to draw conclusions. Science is … life, process, safety, and robotics, the earth, and well-being. Science is on the road and in the arts.
The Virginia Tech Science Festival has a goal of making science and research accessible to all ages. Most exhibits are designed for elementary and middle school students. Younger children will find plenty to do as well.

Admission is free and all are welcome.
The festival is a collaboration across most of the colleges and research institutes on campus, as well as many community members.
