Dinner with a Scientist

Dinner with a Scientist gives 4th-12th grade students from Calaveras and Amador County schools a unique opportunity to enjoy dinner and an evening with local STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) professionals in a casual learning environment. Scientists ranging from geologists to veterinarians, biologists, educators, engineers, and more, volunteer to spend an evening discussing their field of expertise. Teachers attend the event with a team of 2 to 5 students and enjoy a three-course meal where students can ask questions and scientists share their enthusiasm and advice about technology, engineering, math, and science careers. 

Dinner With a Scientist 2024 was held on November 6, 2024,
at the Calaveras County Fair Grounds in the Mark Twain Hall.
