SCIENCE NIGHT OUT 2026

was a HUGE success! 💥🔬

Bard College absolutely brought it—fantastic experiments and wonderful volunteers who kept curiosity buzzing all night
BMS & RHS student volunteers showed up with incredible energy (and a shout-out to Maddox Gallagher, our amazing roving student photographer 📸)
CLS families came out - about 150 people filled the CLS cafeteria. It was busy, vibrant, and just the right amount of chaos
✨ Roughly 1/3 of families were brand new to Science Night Out - Welcome!!
$85 raised in donations - thank you!
✨ The night was bursting with discovery — from owl pellet and fossil dissections to catapults, electrostatic butterflies, hydrostatics, sound waves, lava lamp secrets… and yes, even a chorus of DIY harmonicas! 🤪🎶

Our family really enjoys the collaboration between RSF and Bard. The kids learn that everyday questions can be answered through simple experiments. It truly brings science to life.
