The 15th annual Wisconsin Science Festival offered more than 650 events virtually and in-person across the state. Thousands of participants — from the young to the young-at-heart — had the opportunity to unleash their curiosity and discover how science connects to everyday life.
The festival feature “Rock and Roll” came alive through events and programs inspired by music, motion, geology and more. We’ve collected some of our favorite moments at events in Madison during the 2025 Wisconsin Science Festival, held Oct. 16-26.
