Opportunities for Scientists

The NC Science Festival helps connect STEM professionals with audiences across North Carolina, including at public events and through school programs. Check out some of the ways scientists can get involved with the NCSciFest:

Our SciMatch program pairs middle school teachers with scientists who are passionate about their work to schedule virtual visits to lead activities with your students.

This year, scientists will make in-person or virtual visits to classes in April, where they'll speak with students about their backgrounds and research, and answer questions about their careers. The goal of each visit is to inspire students to consider science as a career and to understand how science impacts our lives.
