Science Saturday

Presented by RockEDU Science Outreach

The Rockefeller University has a robust tradition of giving back to the community through RockEDU Science Outreach, which offers multiple educational programs throughout the year. Two of RockEDU’s student programs are Science Saturday (grades K–8) and Talking Science (grades 9–12). Science Saturday is a STEM festival for K–8 students and their families. Talking Science engages high school students—through interactive lectures and demonstrations—in the research being conducted at the university.

The Rockefeller University is grateful for the ongoing generous support of:

The Andreas C. Dracopoulos Family Science and Society Initiative
Bessent-Freeman Family Foundation
The Wasily Family Foundation
The Steinman Family Foundation
Regina and Jeffrey Kessler

Sponsorship opportunities are available for 2024. For more information, please contact sciencesaturday@rockefeller.edu or 212-327-8966.
