What is the Philadelphia Science Festival?
The Philadelphia Science Festival is a two-week, community-wide celebration of science that will take place every year. This year the dates are April 15-28th. There will be a variety of informal science education experiences for Philadelphians of all ages.
The whole event works to create a structure in which every neighborhood of Philadelphia will host engaging high-visibility science programming; Engages and excites Philadelphians in the wonders of science and inspire them to interact with science, engineering, and technology events and activities on a regular basis amd works to build community among Philadelphians by creating myriad opportunities for interaction and dialogue about relevant STEM related issues.
The science festival idea has been slowly gaining ground across the nation as Americans recognize the need for science education reform in order to maintain international leadership in science, technology, and engineering. In 2009, the Science Festival Alliance received funding from the National Science Foundation to develop, implement, and evaluate the festival model as a strategy for informal science learning. The Science Festival Alliance partners—UC San Diego, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Museum, The Franklin Institute (Philadelphia) and UC San Francisco—were strategically selected to represent major U.S. educational entities on both coasts.
The Philadelphia Science Festival seeks participation by every Philadelphian, most especially K-20 students. Professional scientists, engineers, and technologists from every discipline are invited to volunteer throughout the program. K-12 teachers are integral partners—classroom curriculum and resources are in development to facilitate Festival involvement. The goal is for the Festival to offer something for everyone in hopes of sparking interest and involvement.http://www.philasciencefestival.org/

Great customer service- tracking my flight, noting it was going to land 40 minutes early…and making the adjustment so someone was there to meet me at the airport early! Also, receiving a confirmation email 24 hours prior was reassuring as well. Thank you!!
