UW-Madison Science Alliance
The University of Wisconsin-Madison Science Alliance organizes public science outreach events and programs through collaborations with Wisconsin scientists, university departments, K-12 educators, and community venues and outreach organizers throughout Wisconsin. The Alliance invites learners of all ages to come to its campus events and experience science as exploring the unknown. Anyone can join UW-Madison Science Alliance: University or college scientists and students, outreach staff, K-12 educators, parents, lifelong learners, and anyone interested in science outreach.
