STEM Day is a celebration of the innovative work The Lawrence and UC Berkeley has done to shape science education in schools and other learning spaces like museums and science centers. Visitors are invited to peek behind the curtain to explore research and development on exciting new programs, exhibits, and experiences at The Lawrence and beyond. Discover AI learning research, learn about the impact of citizen science programs for teens, and more.

A shuttle to The Lawrence will be available from the Downtown Berkeley BART station.

Featured Projects

East Bay Academy for Young Scientists

Explore a pop-up exhibit about our East Bay Academy for Young Scientists (EBAYS)! EBAYS programs engage youth in community and citizen science projects researching the levels and effects of several pollutants in their cities. Discover the positive influence participation in EBAYS has on students’ perceptions of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), as well as interest in and awareness of STEM careers.

Virtually Human

Lawrence Hall of Science researchers are exploring how young learners can make sense of and interact with artificial intelligence. Engage with the various AI experiences in our Virtually Human exhibit as you learn how AI can solve problems. Then participate in a prototyping activity of new experiences in development for the exhibit.

Supporting Rightful Presence in Museum Spaces

Learn about a three-year collaboration with the 'ottoy Ini. The Tappenekšekma: Ohlone Science Diplomats Program engages youth and families in workshops to develop mixed reality experiences celebrating Ohlone culture and scientific knowledge. “Tappenekšekma,” a Chochenyo word, means both “teacher” and “learner.”
