What is Science Chicago? Science Chicago, spearheaded by MSI, was a
collaboration of more that 140 public and private institutions
Science Chicago is “about helping kids of all ages unleash their inner scientist. We invite Chicagoans to discover and explore the inspiring world of science in our community.”
LabFest was a series of 17 outdoor summer science fairs over a one year period where science and technology institutions from the Chicago area set up tents of displays and interactive learning exhibits. LabFests were held in numerous school districts and neighborhoods around the Chicago area.
