Science on Tap features public discussion on engaging science and history of science topics. Our home is in Philadelphia at National Mechanics, but we’re coming to you virtually every month!
This fall, we’re bringing the lively and engaging science programming straight to your computer. Join us online every month to get in on all the science-y goodness!
Eat! Drink! Science! Grab yourself a cold drink and join us on Zoom for a short, engaging presentation by a scientist or other expert, followed by a Q&A. We'll laugh, we'll cry, we'll make science jokes! Virtual talks take place on the second Monday of the month at 6:00 p.m.
Our Mission
We care about bringing science and the history of science out of the labs and the hallowed halls of academia and sharing it with the public. The goal is to promote science enthusiasm in a fun, spirited, and accessible way while building a community of science-loving nerds.
National Mechanics is the home of Science on Tap Philadelphia, but we also work with many local researchers, scientists, experts, and nonprofits to bring you quality science programming.
Since 2009, Science on Tap Philadelphia has provided free or low cost, engaging science programming to the City of Brotherly Love. In addition to promoting enthusiasm for science, we connect audiences to local scientists and experts and provide a venue for honest, scientific conversations.
Local scientists, researchers, and experts volunteer their time to provide expertise and lead a lively discussion.
Science on Tap is organized by six Philadelphia museums and features experts from the city and surrounding suburbs. Oh, and we know it’s pronounced “wudder”
Every month we bring quality science programming to over 100 people. Multiply that by 10 years and you’ve got a lot of engagement!
Our Team
Science on Tap is sponsored by a consortium of six Philadelphia Institutions. Or as we like to think of ourselves: a very knowledgeable six-headed dragon.
Science takes a village. Whether you want to partner with us to produce an event or volunteer your time as an expert, we encourage you to get involved!
