Ready to unlock your potential in STEM?

We invite rising 9th graders to college freshmen to join a weeklong June program at Randolph College where hands-on experiments, interactive projects, and career sessions in a range of subjects— from biology, chemistry, exercise science, to engineering, and mechatronics — pave the way for future breakthroughs.

Don’t miss our Early Bird deadline: May 15

Today is the DAY — our ever-fun SciFest Science Day! This event is the flagship program that started it all 20 years ago, thanks to the idea from alumna and long-time SciFest donor Kacey Meaker '08! The Randolph College Science Festival has grown from this day of science outreach activities for local students to a full festival in 2009.

The event for the 3rd-6th graders will start registering our guests at 11:30 in the Michels Athletic Center. For Little Scientists, ages 3-7, different sessions throughout the afternoon are happening at the Randolph College Nursery School.

Details and locations can be found on our webpage www.randolphscience.org/scifest if you still want to join day-of!
