North Carolina Science Festival is a two-week-long, 500-mile-wide celebration
of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Across the state,
North Carolinians participate in science talks, lab tours, nature experiences,

NCSF was founded in 2010 by UNC-Chapel Hill’s Morehead Planetarium
and Science Center and is the first statewide science festival in the U.S.
Morehead continues to produce the Festival in partnership with many sponsors
and event hosts. The 2013 Festival is scheduled for April 5-21, and Time Warner
Cable is the 2013 Festival Champion.
