UChicago South Side Science Festival

Ever controlled a robot using AI? Held a 200 million-year-old fossil in your hand? Levitated a supercooled magnet on a track? Seen a live jellyfish up close and personal (without getting stung)? Ready to learn CPR *and* the science behind how it works?

With ~100 incredible hands-on demonstrations, UChicago’s free South Side Science Festival on Oct. 5 is your chance to try it all.

Learn from experts in the field during the Science in Your Life panels, test your science knowledge and engineering skills in trivia games and paper airplane challenges, discover your physics knowledge through skateboarding and double-dutch, and cheer as scientists are challenged to share their work in fun (and funny!) ways in the Science Slam and Upgoer 5 competitions.

With events and activities for all ages and experience levels, everyone can learn something new.
