MORE: It's a science wonderland for the concluding event of the Bay Area Science Festival – a FREE science extravaganza that's too big for just one side of the Golden Gate Bridge! Last year, more than 40,000 people enjoyed a non-stop program chock-full of interactive exhibits, experiments, games, and shows, all meant to entertain and inspire. AT&T Park will feature over 150 exhibits, including the return of the "Robot Zoo" in Willie Mays Plaza, the Chevron STEM Zone featuring 20 hands-on engineering activities and takeaways, Oracle's Education Zone with special marine science activities hosted by National Geographic, and Fireside chats with scientists in AT&T Park's new edible garden in centerfield.
Led by UC San Francisco, the festival is comprised of over 50 events – most of them free – designed to showcase the region's catalytic role in scientific progress and provide innovative opportunities to build community around science, technology and engineering.
Celebrating 150 years of history, UC San Francisco is the nation's leading university exclusively focused on health, dedicated to transforming health worldwide through advanced biomedical research, graduate-level education in the life sciences and health professions, and excellence in patient care.
