DISCOVERY FESTIVAL ARCHIVE
The RSF Discovery Festival is Back!
This beloved biennial event is a community favorite—an exciting, hands-on day exploring the many ways Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Math (STEAM) shape our world.
This year we have over 32 presenters, featuring: Adaptive Design Hudson Valley, Center for Performing Arts, Dirty Gaia, ENTA, Nutty Scientists of the Hudson Valley, Upstate Films, Sinterklaas, Tatum Robotics, ‘T’ Space, Olana and much more!
We Need Your Support
While our amazing presenters donate their time and often their materials, there are still many costs associated with running this free event—and that’s where sponsors like you come in.
Free and open to children of all ages and their families
The Discovery Festival welcomes over 400 attendees for engaging, interactive exhibits like:
