The first-ever Cambridge Science Festival, presented by the MIT  
Museum, will take place
April 21-29, and will include over 150 exciting events for kids,  
teens and adults. Featuring a science carnival, interactive   
exhibitions, plays, concerts, demonstrations and walking tours, the  
goal of the Festival is to engage people in the science and  
technology that is the backbone of the educational community, the  
economy and the culture of Cambridge.

Many organizations in and around Cambridge have participated to make  
this a uniquely fun and entertaining festival. MIT in particular, is  
most heavily involved - from the Alumni Association, to over 45  
departments, to hundreds of students, MIT has contributed in a  
variety of ways; please come out and enjoy the work of colleagues.
