FRAMINGHAM – More than two dozen virtual presentations covering topics ranging from dinosaurs, to climate change and nuclear waste management, are on tap for the 2021 Science on State Street festival held between April 12-24.

Science on State Street is an annual collaboration between Framingham State’s Christa McAuliffe Center for Integrated Science Learning and the MetroWest STEM Education Network.

This year organizers are bringing their virtual presentations to a new level in order to offer hands-on activities and interactive events for all ages, as well as thought-provoking discussions with scholars and climate activists especially suited for young adults and lifelong learners.
