Science to People

Bring science to people and people to science Learn more

Slide WID teams are dedicated to ensuring broad access to science, inspiring young people of all backgrounds to pursue careers in science. Our approach is to unite scientists and a diverse public through the fusion of art, technology, entrepreneurship, and science. Using modern art modes, including street art and virtual reality, WID makes the ideas of science inclusive to a broad community, encouraging citizens from all parts of society to learn more at WID and beyond. Science is for everyone. Many of WID's efforts contribute to the Science to People Grand Challenge.
