Why a "Festival"?

A festival is a period of celebration. For us, that means a month-long celebration of science in North Carolina. With so much to cover, we need an entire month to do our state science celebration justice. Our goal is to help spread science education through exciting, educational, and fun hands-on science events. The educational, cultural, and financial impact of science affects all North Carolinians, and we want to make sure that continues through future generations.
