New Jersey City of Science
Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU) is hosting the World Science Festival’s City of Science, event, on Saturday, March 21, 2020, from 9 AM to 4PM at its Rothman Center, 140 University Plaza Drive, Hackensack, NJ 07601.
CITY OF SCIENCE turns FDU's Rothman Center into a fascinating world of science exploration featuring large-scale exhibits built by the World Science Festival, activities and tours by FDU science and engineering departments, talks by scientists, and meet and greets with recent graduates. It's a great way for families with middle and high school students to become engaged with science and learn about opportunities for study in college and beyond.

Agenda
Join the World Science Festival for CITY OF SCIENCE, an awe-inspiring event for all inquisitive minds. From
a warped space gravity simulator to a 20-foot pendulum wave, this FREE event will introduce you to complex
scientifi c concepts so you can investigate the present and explore a future in the sciences.
■TOUR FDU science and engineering labs and experience college-level activities—including forensic analysis,
nursing simulations, and programming robots.
■ LEARN about science careers through talks and presentations.
■ EXPLORE complex scientifi c principles and their real-life applications— like a spinning ride to learn about
Earth’s rotation or experimenting on an inclined plane to explore state-of-the-art problem in mechanics.
■ MEET and NETWORK with local science professionals and organizations.
■ ASK and LEARN from FDU students and recent graduates in Q&A sessions
