SCIENCE FAIR: Changing the World, One Foam Core Board at a Time

Saturday, June 2, 2018
10:30 am - 12:30 pm

Every year, ISEF, the International Science and Engineering Fair, brings together high school students from all over the globe to show us what they’re made of: grit, curiosity, determination, intelligence, and a desire to leave the world a better place than they found it. This year’s Sundance Audience Award Winning documentary, SCIENCE FAIR, follows several ISEF hopefuls, from the germ of their ideas to the search for mentors to the heady days of reckoning at the science fair itself. Come see a special screening of SCIENCE FAIR then stay for the talkback with comedian Faith Salie, who will interview ISEF winners past and present, as we celebrate the next generation of scientific innovation.

This program is co-presented with the Museum of the Moving Image.

Special thanks to National Geographic.
