Today, the 3rd annual Kansas Science Festival took place in downtown Manhattan. The festival featured 150 presenters in 50 booths, showcasing a wide range of activities related to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math). Participants from institutions such as K-State and NBAF offered activities like paper microscopes, exploration of Kansas’s native fish, and biophysics.
The festival aimed to engage people of all ages in learning about science and technology. Phillip Shults, the program coordinator for the Kansas Science Festival, emphasized the importance of getting both kids and parents excited about science. He noted that everyone, regardless of age, could take away something valuable from the event.
Due to inclement weather conditions, some of the festival activities were relocated to the library. However, strong community support was instrumental in making the event a success. Copyright 2024 WIBW. All rights reserved.
