What Is Cambridge Science Festival?
The Cambridge Science Festival was founded and is produced by MIT Museum. The official Festival and MIT Museum pages contain no current selective grades 9-12 research showcase, project-submission form, application criteria, presenter selection, recognition program, credential, or deadline. The former description's claims about presenting original research to scientists and receiving college-application value therefore are not retained as facts.
The official pages' last concrete event information is the all-ages Cambridge Science Carnival held September 21, 2025, with more than 100 activity booths, demonstrations, music, and installations. MIT Museum said it planned to launch a re-imagined festival in 2026. As of August 20, 2026, however, no 2026 dates, agenda, participation routes, prices, eligibility rules, or applications are posted; the site directs visitors to join the MIT Museum mailing list for announcements.
