SCIENCE FAIR

Science lovers! One of Awesome Con’s smartest show features is dedicated celebrating sci-fi, technology, engineering, aerospace, astronomy, and much more. The Science Fair is not only tons of fun — it’s educational too!

Our Science Fair encompasses a dedicated programming track in our panel rooms, an area in our Exhibit Hall chock full of science and tech organizations and activities, the return of the Science Fair Demo stage, and more. Fans can explore how science influences their favorite comics, films, and TV shows, discover new technologies from scientific companies, governmental agencies, and non-profit organizations, and learn about incredible career opportunities in science and tech that could allow them to become a real-life Tony Stark or Bruce Banner.
