Looking for a fun weekend activity?

Join the Lemelson-MIT Program for its third annual EurekaFest, and help celebrate the inventive spirit! A few weeks ago, Chrissy Redmond discussed how the Lemelson-MIT Program was re-branding science, transforming it into a cool experience for the world’s future technological innovators. Now, you have a chance to see that in action.

EurekaFest is a multi-day celebration designed to empower a legacy of inventors through activities that inspire youth, honor role models and encourage creativity and problem solving. Today, at MIT’s Stata Center, you can observe a nationwide high school invention showcase and see renowned inventors present on the MIT campus.

Saturday, I'll be at Boston's Museum of Science to cheer on more than 200 high school students in an all-day wind-powered design challenge; their families will also have the opportunity to participate in hands-on learning activities.

All events are free and open to the public, so come join me!
