The rain held off, the visitors showed up, the volunteers solved every challenge that came their way, and the exhibitors shared their love of all things STEM. By all measures, the 35th annual Rockville Science Day was a big success!

​

Before we close the books on Rockville Science Day, we want to thank everyone who was a part of this annual tradition. We had a record 134 exhibitors--some who've participated for almost as long as we've been doing this event and others for whom this was their very first time at Science Day. We appreciate the energy and excitement that all of them brought to the event. Our team of close to 40 volunteers, and especially coordinator Rob O'Malley, also played a critical role in the success of Science Day. From setting up tables and tents to steering visitors in the right direction, we absolutely couldn't have done it without you. Thank you for the million ways you helped our staff over the course of the weekend.

 

A big thank you also goes out to Montgomery College for opening their Rockville Campus to us--it truly is the perfect backdrop for Science Day. We greatly appreciate the support provided by our amazing sponsors, Pepco (an Exelon Company), Nazareth Bonifacino Law LLC, the Pinkney Innovation Complex for Science and Technology (PIC-MC), the Russian School of Mathematics, and Panda Programmer. A round of applause also goes to AFC Urgent Care Rockville for providing first aid support on Sunday.

​

Last, but not least, we wanted to let you know that the 2026 Rockville Science Day 50/50 raffle raised $1,267. Thank you to everyone who purchased tickets and a huge thank you to raffle winner Tommy Luginbill who has very generously gifted his portion of the winnings back to the Rockville Science Center. 

​

And with that, it's a wrap!
