This is the eighth year for WestFest – Ohio State’s West Campus Science & Sustainability Festival. WestFest is a family-friendly, interactive event that is meant to engage multi-generational audiences in hands-on activities focused on STEM and sustainability. It is not a tabling event or promotional opportunity; each partner needs to have a kid appropriate activity for attendees. The WestFest team handles the logistics of the event and offers support to program partners that need some help developing their activity or to hone their science communication skills.
WestFest 2024 will take place on Saturday, October 19 from 11:00-3:00 pm on the West Campus quad (open space between Scott, Bevis, Rightmire and Pressey Halls).

- Ohio State departments/colleges/centers/units
