Fundraisers and Events
Blue Backyard hosts events and fundraisers that aim to increase the public conversation about science. All of the proceeds generated from these projects go directly toward helping us provide educational opportunities to low-income students. Sign up for our newsletter to hear about our next community event and ways to get involved!
The Blue Backyard Calendar
Each year Blue Backyard works with a partner organization to develop a unique calendar promoting different voices in science.

Scientist vs Scientist
In order to engage more of the public in the research being conducted in our community, Blue Backyard organizes fundraiser events where graduate students in the sciences face off to deliver their "elevator pitches" for research. Winners are selected by the audience, and receive financial support and occasionally logistical support for their research.
