Bringing science and technology out of the lab and into the public

The Chicago Council on Science and Technology’s (C2ST) mission is to enhance the public’s understanding and appreciation of science and technology and their impact on society. C2ST hosts relevant, independent, and credible public STEM programs across all scientific fields at locations throughout Chicagoland.

Due to COVID-19, C2ST had to cancel most of their in-person events. Our funding supported C2ST to develop Science From the Frontlines, a series of virtual events on topics relevant to COVID-19, such as public health, vaccines, and community best practices.
