CYSCA has participated in the annual Cambridge Science Festival for several years. Our programs have included:
2025: booth in collaboration with two NGOs from Armenia
For CYSCA’s booth, titled “Barev STEM! Together We Build Tomorrow,” we collaborated with 2 NGOs from Armenia: Armath and Maqoor, with representatives from both organizations participating. The Carnival drew approximately 20,000 visitors.
In conjunction with the Carnival, CYSCA co-sponsored two teenage scientists, ages 13 and 17, from Armenia, from Armath NGO, along with their chaperone from the Union of Advanced Technology Enterprises, for their 5 days in the US.
