The Maine Science Festival (MSF), which launched in 2015, is the first and only science festival in Maine and an independently funded program of the Maine Discovery Museum. Since conception, we've had 10,000 people join us every year at the MSF, where we showcase the science (and technology) happening in Maine, using the format and structure of an arts or music festival. We produce public science events - forums, workshops, talks, art exhibits, film screenings, and hands-on activities - that focus on the science happening and being used in Maine. We bring Maine science to the public.
