Who are we?
Exploring Your Universe, or EYU for short, is the largest annual graduate student-led science fair held at UCLA Court of Science every year on the first Sunday of November! On that day, over 70+ science booths, solar and nighttime telescopes, planetarium shows, and science talks come together to bring a fun, interactive science learning experience for K-12 students especially from underrepresented backgrounds. Our program features subjects ranging from astronomy, biology, geology, chemistry, sustainability, psychology, and more! All activities are led by experts and scientists and geared for all ages (K-12+) and backgrounds.
How You Can Help!
Attending Exploring Your Universe is an incredible opportunity for students to dive into hands-on science and discovery, but we need your support to make it happen. Your contributions will ensure that financial constraints don't prevent students from experiencing this event. By donating, you can help cover the costs of transportation and lunch for neighboring schools and ensure a great science fair experience for everyone—free of charge! Your generosity will give the public the chance to engage with exciting scientific exhibits and activities that inspire curiosity and learning. As a thank you, EYU is offering a special T-shirt with every donation! Every dollar helps us get closer to our $5,000 goal!
