science festivals
Public discovery events
Science festivals are public events celebrating scientific knowledge and discovery, typically featuring hands-on experiments, demonstrations, lectures, and interactive exhibits designed to engage general audiences.
They range from local school events to major annual gatherings like the Edinburgh Science Festival.
The goal is making science accessible and entertaining: The kids loved the robotics booth at the science festival.
