The Wisconsin Science Festival is a statewide celebration of science, technology, engineering, art, and math with activities for people of all ages, backgrounds, and interests throughout Wisconsin. Events include hands-on science exhibitions, demonstrations, performances, tours, pub nights, workshops and more.
Founded in 2011 on the premise that art and science go hand-in-hand, the festival has grown from a few days of events in Madison to a full week of activities spanning over a hundred cities. The Wisconsin Science Festival continues to grow, welcoming new event hosts and attendees every year.
Coming up in June:
This first annual summit will bring together industry leaders, manufacturers, and innovators from across the state for two days of practical insights and meaningful connections. Find out more and register.
Who should attend? Supply chain managers, HR managers, engineering leadership, and anyone who would benefit from the opportunity to network with manufacturers, associations, state partners, and forward-thinking leaders.
