Wisconsin hosts science festival and regional events

The 2026 Wisconsin Science Festival concluded its run from October 15 to 25, highlighted by the ‘Science on the Square’ event at the Wisconsin State Capitol. The festival provided hands-on learning opportunities through various educational tents on State Street, covering topics such as the physics of being human and the science of sound.

Participating organizations included the University of Wisconsin School of Pharmacy, where students demonstrated drug coating science using Skittles, and the Women in Chemistry group, which hosted activities involving states of matter. Local businesses also participated in the educational programming.

Other upcoming regional events in Wisconsin scheduled for late October and early November include musical performances at the Fox Cities P.A.C. and the Jurassic Quest exhibition at the Resch Expo in Green Bay.
