Science Saturday

Presented by RockEDU Science Outreach

The Rockefeller University has a robust tradition of giving back to the community through RockEDU Science Outreach, which offers multiple educational programs throughout the year. Two of RockEDU’s annual student programs are Science Saturday (grades K–8) and Talking Science (grades 9–12). Science Saturday is a STEM festival for K–8 students and their families. Talking Science engages high school students—through interactive lectures and demonstrations—in the research being conducted at the university.

Science Saturday is made possible thanks to the generous support of:

The Andreas C. Dracopoulos Family Science and Society Initiative
Bessent-Freeman Family Foundation
Quadrivium Foundation
The Steinman Family Foundation
