Super Science Saturday is a public science celebration that draws thousands of excited and curious people of all ages to the NSF NCAR Mesa Lab to explore Earth system science!

This event is planned by the UCAR Center for Science Education with support from other UCAR, NSF NCAR, and UCP programs and local science education organizations.

Join us on the first Saturday in November for a fun day of exploration and discovery!


Super Science Saturday will return to the NSF NCAR Mesa Lab on Saturday, November 7, 2026, from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm MT. More information about Super Science Saturday 2026 will be added a few months before the event.
