Come join us for Science Saturdays!

For six Saturdays mornings in February and March, scientists from Oak Ridge National Laboratory will present engaging science topics. Following the presentations, hands-on activities will be available for everyone!

Even if science is not your favorite subject, you might be surprised by how much fun it can be! Save those Saturday-morning cartoons with TiVo (hey, we know some of you still watch them) and come out to Science Saturdays with a group of friends!

You don’t even have to get up early! The programs will begin at 9:30 a.m. and end around 11:00 a.m.

Come and join us for a fun way to gear-up a Saturday morning!

Want More?

Want MORE SCIENCE than just six Saturday mornings? How about an internship this summer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory?

For those who would like to delve more into the science, another opportunity is available for you! Simply attend four of the six Saturdays to be eligible to propose a solution to one of the 14 Grand Engineering Challenges. Of those who propose solutions, 30 students will be selected to attend an additional four sessions at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Of those 30 students, 10 students will be selected for unpaid 10-week internships, mentored by top scientists at ORNL!
