Exploring Your Universe 2026

Science festival with hands-on exhibits, experts, and activities for all ages! Exploring Your Universe (EYU) is UCLA’s premier all-ages science fair and the largest public science outreach event in Los Angeles. Held this year on November 8th at UCLA’s Court of Sciences, EYU transforms campus into a vibrant hub of discovery, featuring more than 60 interactive science booths, mesmerizing lab tours, planetarium shows, and engaging science talks. Designed for curious minds of all ages and backgrounds, EYU offers hands-on experiments, immersive exhibits, and unforgettable demonstrations. Previous highlights have included building and launching rockets, exploring UCLA’s world-class Meteorite Gallery, exclusive educational movie screenings, and thought-provoking presentations like “Are We Alone in the Universe?” Not in LA? No problem! Join EYU to the World! est. 2025 -- EYU's livestream featuring invited guest speakers. We will email you a link when it's time. Simply select an EYU to the World! ticket at checkout. Scientific research in America is a public trust — funded by taxpayers, stewarded by institutions, and ultimately owned by the citizens whose investment makes discovery possible. EYU is a wonderful opportunity to see some of that work in action. Consider donating to support our exploration. Check out our website: https://exploringyouruniverse.ucla.edu/ for more information.
