Exciting news! The 11th Annual Michigan State University Science Festival will be held on the MSU campus from April 1 to 30, 2023. The Festival Team is so excited to return to in-person events after being online only for the ''20-'21 festival, and hybrid during the '22 event. 

The MSU Science Festival is a free annual celebration of science fueled by curiosity, wonder, and discovery, which are essential to scientific inquiry.

Mark your calendars and keep an eye out for updated information about the festival over the next few months.
