Nurturing a love of science at a monthly event for families and community groups
Saturday Science is a hands-on brain science event for students, families and local community groups hosted by the Zuckerman Institute in partnership with BioBus and Columbia University scientists and students. Events run approximately monthly throughout the school year and are themed to reflect the wide range of topics and discoveries in neuroscience. Children of all ages are invited to participate in engaging and informative activities to learn about the mind and its mysteries.

Saturday Science Returns to Manhattanville!
Join us as we return to Manhattanville! Students, families, and community groups are invited to join scientists at the Zuckerman Institute to explore the workings of the brain through hands-on activities and unique scientific resources. Activities and demonstrations are designed to be engaging and informative and launch points for further exploration, reflection, and discovery. 

Events are free and open to the public. Content is geared toward middle school students, but learners of all ages are welcome.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Saturday Science moved to Saturday Science at Home. Students and families were invited to pick up free science kits at school or a nearby library and invited to a virtual activities day led by Columbia University scientists and students. You can download both English and Spanish instructions for independent learning. Check out our video guides below for some fun, easy-to-do neuroscience activities. All of our activities can be done with items you can easily find at home!

Saturday Science is brought to you by the Zuckerman Institute, BioBus, Columbia University Neuroscience Outreach and Columbia Neuroscience Society.
