The annual UNC Science Expo returns to Morehead Planetarium and Science Center on Saturday, April 6th from 11:00 am – 4:00 pm! In partnership with UNC-Chapel Hill faculty, students, and staff, the event will be a day of science learning and fun for the community. This year, Morehead will also celebrate its 75th anniversary by bringing even more excitement to the UNC Science Expo, including food trucks, stage performances, prizes, and more. You can also view the event on the UNC Calendar or Heel Life.
The UNC Science Expo is a signature event of the annual North Carolina Science Festival and one of the biggest celebrations of science in the state. More than 100 booths staffed by UNC-Chapel Hill students, researchers, practitioners, and community volunteers fill the quads surrounding Morehead Planetarium and Science Center. From hands-on activities and games to science demonstrations and behind-the-scenes lab tours, the UNC Science Expo makes learning about science fun and engaging for people of all ages.
This event is free to attend and qualifies for CLE credit for UNC students. If you are interested in volunteering or have students that would like to volunteer, please reach out to Morehead’s Community Engagement Specialist, Will Freund.
