Why a Science Festival?
Science is vital for even the most basic aspects of modern society. Every day, each one of us benefits from scientific knowledge whether through the food we eat, the air we breathe and the water we drink. Science and technology power our world, protect us from natural disasters, improve our health and entertain us.
Science in St. Petersburg will be the star, front and center, of a day-full of hands-on activities for children and adults with emphasis on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) learning!
