Kids get plenty of science festivals - so we make something for adults, for them to play.
taste of science is an events series and annual festival dedicated to bringing scientists to meet local communities in their favorite places. We are a national organization with community roots. Hardworking, creative and passionate people dedicated to making science more accessible to everyone.

We would be happy to explain further how our organization works and answer any questions you may have about volunteering.
