No! A traditional science fair is centered around student projects. Students participate in a competition to showcase an experiment they have performed. 

In contrast, the Science Slam centers on adults creating experiences for children.  WWC parents, community groups, camps and scientists lead exhibit demonstrations throughout the school yard. Students get to roam freely (no signups required) to each exhibit to watch and participate in demonstrations. 

Throughout the event there will be fun science demonstrations and exhibits to interact with and explore. We will also be raffling off prizes at the event!

Yes! All exhibits on the yards are for all ages. There is also an area called kinder corner where the experiments will be geared slightly more towards younger ages.
