Visitor at 'Little Shop of Physics' exhibit at 2014 USA S&E Festival
A visitor at Colorado State University's "Little Shop of Physics" in the NSF exhibit hall at the 2014 USA Science and Engineering Festival. The festival took place at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C., on April 25-27, 2014.
NSF was a partner in the festival, the nations largest celebration of science and engineering, where visitors eagerly engaged in hands-on activities and were amazed by the breadth of research and education projects supported by the agency. The festival expo provides an opportunity for NSF to showcase the innovation the agency supports throughout the U.S. and the projects and programs selected to represent NSF benefit from the opportunity to demonstrate the value of their activities and outcomes to a large national audience.
The goal of the festival is to reinvigorate the interest of the nations youth in science, technology, engineering and math by presenting these areas in an exciting, compelling, educational and entertaining manner. Now in its third year, the festival attracted an estimated 320,000 attendees.
