Hands-on science and fun
Imagine a giant circus but instead of performing animals you have a Robot Zoo; instead of scary clowns you have colorful chemicals in glass beakers. That’s what AT&T Park will look like this Saturday when the 5th Annual Discovery Day opens its doors. It’s a hands-on, eye-opening, brain-engaging celebration of science for everyone.
It’s a lot of fun
You’ll get a chance to learn about the science of sports – an appropriate subject as you’ll be doing it at the home of the 3-time World Champions of baseball, the San Francisco Giants. You’ll also be able to experience some of the training it takes to become an astronaut, without any of that pesky going-into-space business.
All in all you’ll be able to visit more than 150 hands-on exhibits and activities spread throughout the park, put together by the top science organizations, institutions and companies from all over the Bay Area. We’re talking Stanford University, UCSF, The Tech Museum, the Exploratorium, KQED, US Geological Society and the list goes on and on.
Meet the future right now
Today’s scientists inspiring tomorrow’s
You’ll get to meet the scientists who are exploring outer space and the depths of the ocean, who are doing cutting edge research into health and who are pushing the boundaries of scientific knowledge.
And you will get a chance to meet us, the CIRM Team. We’re going to be there all day talking about the exciting progress being made in the field of stem cell research, and about the 15 clinical trials we are currently funding in heart disease, diabetes, cancer, HIV/AIDS and blindness (to name just a few).
You can find us on the Promenade level at booth P50. We’re easy to spot. We’re the coolest ones around. And if you have kids who enjoy PlayDoh, we will give them a chance to use the fun stuff to make stem cells.
But best of all Discovery Day is a chance for kids to learn how amazing science can be, to meet the scientists who are helping shape their future, and to consider a future as scientists themselves. And for the rest of us, it’s a chance to remind ourselves why we fell in love with science to start with.
And as if that wasn’t enough, the whole shebang is FREE.
The event is this Saturday, November 7 from 10am – 4pm. For details on where it is and how to get there – go to Discovery Day
