Science Bag 2011-2012

Making exciting science for 39 years

Friday evenings just got spicier with these interactive performances that connect science with your everyday life. The UWM Science Bag educates as it entertains. Each one-hour show is free and designed for the curious, ages 8 to 108. Topics change monthly and run through April (except in December). Science Bag 2011-2012 Poster (pdf - 1.2mb)
