Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose. - Zora Neale Hurston

The purpose of the Curiosity Fair is to celebrate the role of curiosity in education, by inviting participants to engage in interactive demos from a variety of disciplines, from science to art to humanities. The event is informal, fun, and free!
