The story
More than an event — a chance to put science into practice.
Science NHS participated in a Fall Fest table with approachable science activities, member conversations, and a friendly presence for families exploring school clubs and community groups.
Why we did it

What participants did
Members set up a table, welcomed visitors, shared information about the chapter, and offered simple activities or conversations that helped families engage with science in a casual setting.
