View event details βBiofun brings free, hands-on biology workshops to local libraries β turning curiosity into a lifelong love of science and inspiring the next generation of biologists, doctors, and researchers.
The world's biggest challenges β curing disease, feeding a growing planet, protecting the environment β will be solved by people who fell in love with biology early. But too many children never get the chance to experience science as something you can touch, question, and discover. Biofun exists to change that, one library at a time.
Research shows a child's interest in science is often set before middle school. Reaching kids early is how we build the scientists of tomorrow.
By meeting families for free at public libraries, we make real, hands-on science available to every child β not just those with resources.
Kids don't just read about biology β they extract DNA, examine cells, and ask real questions. That's what makes it stick.
When a child looks through a microscope for the first time and gasps, you can see a future scientist being born. That moment is what Biofun is all about.
We run free, interactive biology workshops for kids at local libraries. Each session blends a big scientific idea with a hands-on experiment they'll never forget.
Extracting DNA from fruit, growing bacteria cultures, exploring cells under the microscope β kids learn by doing real science with real tools.
We come to public libraries β welcoming, free, and familiar spaces β so any family can join, no lab or tuition required.
We turn genetics, ecology, and the human body into stories and games kids actually understand β and want to keep exploring.
Biofun partners with local libraries to host a free workshop for kids in the community.
Every child rolls up their sleeves for a guided, safe, and exciting biology experiment.
They leave with new questions, a spark of wonder, and maybe a future in science.
