Don’t miss out on this free community event—come celebrate Halloween with us in the spirit of discovery!
Science After Dark is a free community event hosted by the Physical Sciences Department at Suffolk County Community College, giving children and families the opportunity to explore science through fun, hands-on Halloween-themed activities and demonstrations.
As the event continues to grow, your support helps us provide the materials, supplies, and resources needed to create an engaging experience for our young explorers—all while keeping the event free and accessible to the community.
Science After Dark has grown significantly since its first year. In 2024, we welcomed approximately 300 guests and 50 SCCC student volunteers. In 2025, attendance grew to approximately 800 guests, with 80 SCCC student volunteers and 40 high school volunteers participating.
As we continue to grow, we hope to offer even more hands-on activities, involve more students and community partners, and reach even more children and families.
Your support helps make that possible.
