fun and excitement
Discovery days
Discovery Days bring the fun and excitement of science to a huge crowd. Working with local universities, museums, companies, school groups, non-profits and many others, Discovery Days offer hundreds of FREE hands-on-activities and exhibits. In 2022, we’re hosting Discovery Day at Oracle Park in San Francisco and Discovery Day at CSU East Bay’s Hayward Campus.
Each year, we host behind-the-scenes tours that highlight the scientific wonders of the Bay Area. You can hike along the San Andreas Fault with a geologist, tour a deep sea ocean exploration manufacturing center with marine engineers, or peer into a microscope with a microbiologist.
