Cancer Research Search-and-Find

Biology happens at the nanoscale. At the Cambridge Science Festival Carnival, scientists and engineers from MIT’s Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research and the Marble Center for Cancer Nanomedicine will be on hand to show you how we design tumor-fighting tools inspired by MIT research. Join us for search-and-find to learn what it's like to be a researcher helping treat cancer. We’ll also have 3D images to help you explore the microscopic world of e.coli bacteria.

While at the Carnival, you'll find more than 100 family-friendly science activities on offer, including activity booths, demonstrations, live music and events, the ever-popular Robot Petting Zoo, and showpiece specials like the Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream Freeze-Off competition. Come join the fun!
