"Magic is just science that we don't understand yet." -- Arthur C. Clarke

As activists and organizers, it's important for us all to find moments for pause, reflection, and discovery, which is exactly why Fandom Forward is hosting a series of events called Magic of Science! Join us as we explore our curiosity, gain new knowledge about the world, and chat with some truly incredible science communicators and creators as they explain something in their scientific field that feels like magic to them.

Magic of Science: The Toolkit!

While many of our favorite stories defy imagination – evil can be defeated with help from a volcano, superheroes can fly, and children can bend elements to their will – science brings magic to life in the real world! Download our brand-new, FREE toolkit and try these fandom-themed experiments to add a little magic to your explorations in science, technology, engineering, art, and math. Each experiment also includes a call to action: a way for you to help make information and education more accessible for everyone!
