Great catch! Students from Bay Area robotics teams developed competing robots that picked up + tossed out 9" diameter balls (and could even do pull-ups!) THANK YOU to our presenting sponsor, Chevron, for helping us bring the awesome power of #STEM to the Bay Area and beyond!

After School Science Hour from Berkeley Lab K-12 Program happening next week! The live demo of splitting water sounds especially neat. Register at: bit.ly/BLASSH

Wishing you could enjoy the fun of a scientific Discovery Day all over again? You're in luck: the North Bay Science Discovery Day is THIS WEEKEND! 🎉 This FREE event will take place on SUNDAY, May 15th, 10am-4pm, at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa. Don't miss it!

It was such a THRILL to be back in-person celebrating #sciencetogether this year! ucsf.edu/news/2022/05/4…

Scientific fun continues all around the Bay Area. This weekend is the North Bay Science Discovery Day! Sunday, 5/15 from 10am - 4pm at Sonoma County Fairgrounds.

Got DNA Art? Definitely! Families had a great time creating their own unique DNA strand bracelets out of different colored beads. What a fun way to visualize DNA + be creative. Thank you to our sponsor @Amgenbiotech for sharing this colorful exhibit!

Friends, THIS Sunday is the North Bay Science Discovery Day! 10am-4pm at Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa. Details at: northbayscience.org

Love this! SF Microscopical Society gave BASF Discovery Day attendees a truly up-close look at a diverse range of specimens, such as a hornet's nest, a cat's lung, and grass flowers. 🌷

Can you name this experiment?! At this year's Discovery Day, Festival sponsor The Clorox Company brought Mentos + Coca Cola and shared the amazing eruption that takes place when the candies are dropped into the soda! Thank you for bringing this dynamic experiment to #BASF2022, The Clorox Company!

It was a zoo at Discovery Day at Oracle Park this year: A Robot Zoo, that is! At the Robot Zoo, attendees got to explore machines of all shapes and sizes - some that could play catch, dance and be raced around a track. Thanks for joining us AbbVie to create this amazing exhibit!

Are you a supertaster? If so, you inherited a dominant variant of the TAS2R38 gene, which creates a heightened sense of taste. BASF attendees used DNA testing strips to determine whether they have the SUPERTASTER gene! Thank you to our sponsor, @merck, for this fun exhibit!

We're just a little over a month out from wrapping BASF 2022 - how about a little #tbt to celebrate? It was such a JOY to be back in person, discovering science together, all around the Bay Area at events like STEM-Frenzy and more. We can't wait for next year's festivities!

THIS! It's so rewarding to see the light in attendees' eyes as they experience the joy and wonder of science firsthand. Thank you Community Resources for Science (CRS) for being a part of #BASF2022 and for all who joined us to discover #sciencetogether.

Have you ever seen one of these cars driving themselves around the Bay Area?! Discovery Day attendees had a chance to check out Waymo's self-driving technology and see a full-sized vehicle up close - AWESOME! Thank you for being a part of the Bay Area Science Festival, Waymo!

Love this list of STEM summer camps in the East Bay -what a great resource for families looking to continue discovering + being inspired by science throughout the summer! 510families.com/stem-camps-eas…

We all know strawberries are TASTY... but did you know they can also teach us about science? At Discovery Day, attendees learned how to extract DNA from strawberries - a berry good time was had by all!🍓 Thank you to our sponsor Thermo Fisher for being a part of #BASF2022!

So many moments of discovery happen at the Bay Area Science Festival, and we are honored to discover #sciencetogether each year. Thank you to sponsor Gilead Sciences for helping us bring the wonder of science to the Bay Area and beyond. What an amazing 11th year!

*GIVEAWAY!* BASF is sharing 25 FREE tickets to the new science doc Fire of Love, showing this weekend in SF! Learn the story of Katia and Maurice Krafft, two volcanologists who forever enriched our knowledge of the natural world. Sign up for tix ⬇️ bit.ly/3P5dB6B

The Bay Area Science Festival won't be held in 2023, but we hope to return in 2024. Over the next year, we’ll consider the best ways to share STEM with the Bay Area. We’ll keep providing updates on BASF, and we look forward to continuing to Discover Science Together!
