Previously known as the CSUCI Science Carnival, this family-oriented event first started in Fall 2009 with approximately 250 preschool through eighth (PK-8) grade students attending the event. Over 2,700 PK-8 students and their families attended the 2018 Science Carnival. During COVID, a virtual Science Carnival was held in April 2020.
