NOTE: DUE TO A RECORD NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS, ALL NEW APPLICATIONS WILL BE ADDED TO THE WAITING LIST The North Carolina Science Festival recruits dynamic and dedicated STEM experts to share their excitement about science with students in middle school classes. The goal of each visit is to inspire your students to consider science as a career and to understand how science impacts our lives. Apply to have a STEM professional visit your classroom during the 2019-2020 school year! If you have questions, please contact the Festival team at 919-962-3274 or ncscifestschools@unc.edu.
