The Cambridge Science Festival has expanded its schedule, now October 3-9 across more venues in Cambridge. Scan and search the Festival Guide of events — 116 so far, with perhaps more to be added soon.

  • October 7: Science + Food — the latest in edible chemistry, at a “farmer’s market of the future”
  • October 8: Science + Fashion — runway shows, exhibitions, discussion and interaction with designers, makers, engineers, brands, artisans, influencers and the public
  • October 9: Science + Carnival — a family-friendly, science-themed, Great American Carnival, noon-4PM featuring a Main Stage, Midway, Side Shows, Walk-abouts, with “competitions and challenges, interactive engineering and hands-on experiments, design workshops and demonstrations, from telescopes to microscopes, from celestial bodies to synthetic bodies, lasers, DNA, the brain, from marine biology to biological machines, from circuit-boards to circus-shows… and very many robots!”
