• Tiny Terrariums: Create your own miniature terrarium while learning about plant growth requirements and the cycling of matter in ecosystems of all sizes. 

• Can You Taste It?: Did you know your DNA can determine how you taste things? Join this genetics and data science combo experiment to find out if you can taste certain flavors or not then compare your data to other participants!

• Fractal Building: Menger Cube: "Phenomenal cosmic powers! Itty bitty living space!” (1992 Disney’s Aladdin) Learn how a mathematics concept, the Menger Cube, is unlocking new discoveries in biomedical engineering, machining, and computer science.

• The Microworld: Close your eyes and picture a microscope - is it in a lab? Does it have to be used only there? The answer might surprise you! Learn about different types of microscopes and the many jobs that use them. 

• Become a Community Scientist: Collaborate with your community to collect data and learn about the plants, animals, and fungi on your campus and in your backyard. Use the iNaturalist app to record observations during NCSciFest and learn about other community science projects in North Carolina.
