About Chicago Science in the City
The City of Chicago, in collaboration with a dynamic group of businesses, civic, cultural and community organizations is pleased to announce Chicago’s second annual Chicago Science in the City.
Chicago Science in the City is a compilation of two weeks of events designed to encourage Chicagoans to explore and experience the various fields of science. The expedition aims to raise public awareness of the importance of science in our past, present and future. Last year’s expedition brought together more than 1,500 participants and 5,000 spectators at the launch event alone.
This year, Chicago Science in the City launches October 2, 2007 and will run for two weeks in universities, schools, laboratories, museums, office buildings, parks and public spaces throughout the city. Events include three neighborhood sciencecarnivals, museum exhibits, demonstrations, hands-on activities, lectures, films and workshops. There will be a variety of action-packed scientific events citywide during Chicago Science in the City, inspiring children to pursue science and challenging adults to consider the role that science plays in the modern world. Since most of these events will be free to the public, all participants will be able to experience science first hand.
