The health and safety of our guests, our team, and our community is the primary concern of Arizona Science Center. In response to the latest guidelines and information from local, national and global health experts, the Arizona State Science and Engineering Fair (AzSEF) 2020 has been cancelled.
We will begin issuing registration fee refunds by the end of this week.
Arizona Science Center is committed to continuing our mission to inspire, educate, and engage future scientists and engineers throughout the state of Arizona.
In an effort to be of continual service to our community, Arizona Science Center will be launching a series of digital videos and content beginning the week of March 16. Check them out HERE!
We will continue to assess the situation and keep you updated by email, on our website (www.azscience.org) and through social media : (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Twitter).
